| 1 | * Beatty's monologue about why books have become so unpopular that traditional firefighters became book burners is a great example of how villainous he is and is considered one of the best monologues in literature history. |
| 2 | * Beatty's death is ''incredibly'' satisfying. After spending the entire book smugly taunting Montag about damn near everything, he brings Montag to the man's own house to destroy his collection of books, even allowing Montag the privilege of setting fire to them himself. After the deed is done, Montag turns to face Beatty... and blasts him with the flamethrower too, igniting him and burning him to a crisp with the same weapon that just destroyed his books. It's brutal, but it's in no way un-deserved. |
