Montag gets driven even farther away from what is known as a "normal life" when he is forced to burn down his own house along with the books within it. In the quote, "Montag did not hear, he was far away, he was running with his mind, he was gone, leaving this dead soot-covered body to sway in front of another raving fool"(Bradbury 112), the author uses a form of personification to express how much Montag has transformed since the start of the story. Montag ends up also burning Beatty to death, which confirms him being a criminal and being far from what is seen as normal in society. The reader can infer that Montag is starting to become more and more passionate about the quality of human life because he sacrifices everything in order to achieve better quality of life.
towards the end of the story, Guy Montag has had a complete transformation and his personality has completely changed. This can be seen in the quote, "The small motion, the white and red color, a strange fire because it meant a different thing to him. It was not burning, it was warming."(Bradbury 139), where the author expresses how Montag sees everyday things differently than before. The reader can clearly distinguish Montag's transformation from being heartless and unfeeling to someone very passionate about the quality of human life.
