Montag Kills!!!

I believe that Montag turned the flamethrower on Beatty for a few different reasons. First was because montag thought that beatty would be a good friend and in a way he wasn't because he didnt help montag deal with his problem. Another reason is because of the way he was talking to him. Beatty was being jerk and with all the stress montag has had throughout the whole book it was probably a sense of relief for him. The last reason is because Montag's life is slowly falling apart. His wife gave him up and left him and he has no one left to talk to. A man is capable of bad things if he loses everything and has nothing to live for.
