In today's lesson on Fahrenheit 451, we will focus on how conflict reveals character, particularly Montag's transformation from a fireman to a questioning individual. We will analyze his interactions, especially with Mildred and Captain Beatty, to understand the conflicts driving his changes. We'll engage in discussions about feeling ignored and note how these emotions relate to character traits. Additionally, we will read specific passages to gather insights and examples of character development influenced by internal and external conflicts.
