Are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? Or disturbing? Or memorable? Describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.One of the most beautiful settings in the book is when Guy Montag is running away from The Hound and he is swimming in the river, away from the distracted city. It is the most beautiful moment when it says it was all quite and dark. It just symbolizes how Guy Montag managed to escape against the government, victorious in a way, and also how he is in this environment where technology is all people live upon. It is beautiful because the setting completely changes into a more peaceful setting, and the mood changes into a shock, as Montag finally confronts the old world and the world where it is peaceful. One of the greatest horrible moments in the book is when Montag has his plan to confront Captain Beatty, and theyre in the firetruck about to go on a mission, but the chapter ends by them rolling up at Montag’s house. That was the most disturbing moment, because the story completely reverts around into a negative connotation. Right after, however, was the most memorable moment: when Guy Montag turns around with the flame thrower at Captain Beatty and burns him into ashes. This was very memorable because instantly, again, the book’s mood completely reverts around into a heroic setting.
