  • The purpose of these five men are to restore the area they are in of knowledge from the stpries they have remembered, and to help rebuild.
  • The story several times has a theme to not judge a book by its cover whether it's an actual book or a person.
  • Montag doesn't love or miss his wife, but does create a mental note of her dying in the bomb attack.
