Faber is the one redeeming individual that Montag meets in
the story who still thinks. What's better, Faber doesn't necessarily need books to
think, he is one who still indeed uses his brain.
This
novel is a sort of dystopia. In the middle section of modern dystopian literature, we
often see this character who gives the glimmer of hope to the everyman character that
acts as the novel's protagonist.
Faber seems to very much
value his privacy and acts on his intellect, but he also seems to know that the society
is on its way to nowhere, so he willingly helps Montag. Faber values putting together a
plan and sticking with it. He values technology only as it assists man, not as it
defines man.
