Oskar Werner as Guy Montag
worked under Captain Beatty. He never doubts his happiness. After he meets with a girl, Clarisse McClellan who doubts anything, and a woman, who burns herself with the books, he starts to doubt his happiness and the importance of the books. Therefore, he starts reading the books.
On the other hand, Captain Beatty denies the values of books and thinks that burning the books make people happy; so He tries to keep Montag away from the books and to convince him that the books are worthless.
I really don’t like Captain Beatty. He seems to be too inflexible. Frankly, I like inflexible people because they keep their words, but I prefer who is inflexible and adapts others thought. I do not like Captain Beatty who does not adapt others’ words and thought. On the other hand, I really like Guy Montag. I prefer someone who is curious and comes out from the fantasy in the book.

Hi, Albert! I'm Daray.
I haven't read the book 'Farenheit 451' and didn't know the summary, I was very interested because the job of fire fighters in this book was burning the books. I agree with you on the point that inflexible people doesn't change their words easily. I also like the character who is inflexible and accepts others thoughts too. However, I think it will be difficult to satisfy both because inflexible people will not easily accept others thoughts since they have their own strong(unchanging) opinions toward specific topic.
I think you might love this book. For next book, I don't you read this book? This will be most fascinating book to you. Anyway, thank you for your comment
I see that doubting oneself is not always bad. Sometimes, you can find righteousness and go for it like Montag. However, doubting and questioning yourself overboard can also affect you negatively. Don't you think? Doing what is right, and voicing your opinion towards the thing you not agree can benefit and change everything. For example, captain beatty sticks to his opinion, but it is sometimes way too much and too narrow. His ideas harm other people and brainwashes their knowledge. Let's not be that way when we grow up but doubt the mistakes that can bring out positive consequences.
