Climax - Fahrenheit 451




The climax of this novel was when Guy killed his boss, Betty. It was the climax not only because it resolved many problems, but also because it was the point where the main character couldn’t go back. How this all happened is, in the beginning, guy and Betty was first in the fire station, where Guy gave Betty the copy of the book he found; Betty throws it away, and that is when the alarm rings in the office. Betty and guy runs to the fire truck to go to the place where the alarm went on. When they arrive, Guy finds out that it is his own house. Then he sees his wife running away. At that moment, Betty tells Guy to burn his own house since it is him who started all this. Guy does it, and when he comes back, Betty is there waiting, to arrest him. While that goes on, Betty goes on by telling some quotes from books. Suddenly, Guy just bursts his flame thing to Betty, and runs away.
What this whole scene is showing, is the choice that Guy has made. Until this part, Guy was a bit in the middle not really knowing what to do with the problems he has with the fact that he wasn’t finding the real happiness. But in this scene, it is clearly shown that Guy is now willing to sacrifice his job, his wife, his house, and his life to find out what actually is going on, and the way to gain his true happiness.
When this climax took place, I was feeling well, telling to guy that “you’re the man!” it truly was a hard choice to make. To throw everything away to go to a path that is very dangerous and has no clear end. But in the other hand, when I thought about it, I found something a bit weird about Betty. When he was arresting Guy, he was blurting out quotes from the books. When he is a fire man, and the Captain of the fire man, how would he know that much information from the book? Was he also one of the guys who were trying to save the books? Well, it was very questionable.
So anyways, it was a clear Climax where many problems were solved, and where the point of no return was taken place.
