And so the dramatics begin.

As I move on in the novel, things begin to get sticky for Guy Montag, but quite entertaning for me. When Guy finally shows Mildred the books that he has been hoarding, the dramatics begin. Mildred is frightened, and quite stunned that a firefighter, who's job is to "keep people happy" and destroy all traces of reality, has a whole book of it hidden inside their home. Guy pleads and begs with Mildred, just to listen to what the books have to say. They very well may be the only thing that can restore order in society. As Montag says it himself, "Maybe books can get us half out of the cave, they just might stop us from making the same damn stupid mistakes!" But, unfortunatly, at this point in my readings, it seems that Guy is the only one with some sort of calling, some sort of hint, something that can open up his mind. I hope that he can find someone else who has a mind like his own, before it is too late.
