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.



Answer:Montag finds it fascinated that after he escapes the chase goes on and the mechanical hound goes in an alley and it kills someone else. They claim it to be Montag but the shot was out of focus so they couldn't tell who it was. This also symbolises something else, it symbolises that in that society they want to send a message to the people that no one can escape from them and when they are caught they will be killed. The quote of fifteen minutes of fame is that people like to show up on tv becuse not just everyone gets on tv. It makes them feel special eventhough it is a bad or good thing that they do.
