Emotions are confusing...
Near the end of the the novel, Fahrenheit 451, the protagonist watches the city he lived in blow up into pieces. You would think that Montag would feel sad. But, he does not know particularly what he feels. Maybe he is sad that his wife is stuck in the middle of the disaster. Or maybe he is happy that the society he has grown to hate has been destroyed. Maybe he is just simply confused. He does not know. As said above, emotions are a tricky situation. At times, we do not know how we feel. In my view, at first Montag’s reaction was hard to understand but as my peers and I continued to break down the scene I found myself relating to the character all to well. Especially, in this time stuck in the house quarantined during this pandemic. I still don’t know how I feel about it. I am happy to be home to finally be able to relax from my usually busy schedule. I am sad that I am away from close friends and peers of my mine. I am stressed for my grades. I am scared for family members. I feel may things. I am confused. Like, Montag I do not know how to feel or what I genuinely feel. And that’s okay. It’s okay to not how to feel in some situations.
