Throughout the novel, Montag dreams of reading and understanding the texts that he comes across. Montag even visits Faber to ask for help comprehending the texts he had read. Montag’s motivation to read literature is driven by the fact that he has lived a meaningless life. After Clarisse helps Montag realize that his life is superficial and unhappy, Montag dreams of having a better life where he can thoroughly enjoy his relationship and occupation. After speaking with Faber, Montag has a passion for preserving knowledge and adamantly defends literature in front of Mildred and her friends. Montag then becomes an enemy of the state and flees the city where he joins a group of traveling intellectuals who teach him how to remember books. At the end of the novel, the city is destroyed by a nuclear bomb. After witnessing the destruction, Montag slowly begins his journey towards the city with the hope of rebuilding a better, literate society. Montag has a vision of sharing his knowledge with those who have survived the blast to start a new society that accepts intellectual thought.
