Question 17

A few house-lights were going on again down the street, whether from the incidents just passed, or because of the abnormal silence following the fight, Montag did not know. He hobbled around the ruins, seizing at his bad leg when it lagged, talking and whimpering and shouting directions at it and cursing it and pleading with it to work for him now when it was vital. He heard a number of people crying out in the darkness and shouting. He reached the back yard and the alley. Beatty, he thought, you’re not a problem now. You always said, don’t face a problem, burn it. Well, now I’ve done both. Good-bye, Captain.

Answer 17

claim- Bradbury characterizes montag as desprate, scared and vulnerable in order to convey the dangers of montags situations or any situation in which one reacts against the government and status quo.

analysis:
- Montag “hobbling around the ruins” conveys the image if an old man or with someone with physical disability, people who are more vulnerable to attack. This shows how turly vulnerable montag is.
- Montag “talking anf whimpering and shouting directions” at his leg and “pleading with it to work for him now when it was vital” shows how desprate montag is, as he is in a dangerous situation that he had resorted to shouting at his leg, something that wont make leg feel better.
