What are the decisions of the characters in the book FAHRENHEIT 451.

Montag, the main character, makes some of the most
important decisions in this book. First of all, he choses to reject the society he had
spent all his life in and instead pursue the forbidden knowledge of books. His wife
Mildred, on the other hand, is unable to let go of her society and especially the walls
of her parlor, which she is clearly addicted to. Beatty also choses to adhere to
society, but for different reasons. He used to be a lover of books, but came to reject
them when he was unable to find comfort in them. Beatty opposes Montag's efforts to
destablize their society, and is killed by Montag. Montag's professor friend, after
years of hiding, is inspired by Montag to be brave and oppose the horrible society that
had kept him in immobile in fear for so long.
