In the dim wavering light, a page hung open and it was like a snowy feather….The men above were hurling shovelsfull of magazines into the dusty air. They fell like slaughtered birds.” (page 37) In Montag’s view, the burning books were seen as dying, hopeless birds. Somehow, Montag saw the books as a sign of happiness and freedom. He realizes the light in books, and he even pities them for being burnt without mercy. Flamin .....

.... anger antipathy toward Billy face to face. First, his eyes change their color from a “wonted rich violet” to a “muddy purple.” Melville even portrays him almost into a non-human being, an “alien eyes of an uncatalogued creature.” Furthermore, as opposed to his initial image, Melville compares the man to a “hungry lurch of the torpedo-fish.” Melville deliberately transforms Claggart’s demonic trait to a more extreme level.
