After the situation with the old woman, Montag returns home. Why doesn't Montag 'want the light' on?

• He doesn't want to face the horrible things he's done.

• He doesn't want to see how sad his house looks.

• He doesn't want to believe books are dangerous.

• He doesn't want to confront Mildred's anger.

Reread this excerpt from Beatty on page 59: "What do the books say, he wonders. Oh, to scratch that itch, eh? Well, Montag, take my word for it. I've had to read a few in my time, to know what I was about, and the books say nothing! Nothing you can teach or believe".

Beatty's statement is ironic because he...

• has read multiple books over the years

• is arguing that most people find books odious

• believes that the government was wrong to ban books

• wants Montag to reveal the stolen book and incriminate himself.
