#58

58. Why is Montag so fascinated with watching his own escape on TV as he escapes? What is it about human beings that we all want our “15 minutes of fame?” Discuss this in light of modern reality shows and celebrity.

He is fascinated that after he escaped the mechanical hound is still searching for him. Then all of a suden the mechanical hound pulls behind an alley and kills someone else. The shot is out of focus so no one could tell that they did not kill Montag. What this did was show to the people that if they commit a crime they will be caught and killed. The fifteen minutes of fame has to do that because not everyone shows up on the television who ever does is special and everyone likes to feel special.
