Question

Consider why the narrator introduces us to montag at this time of his life, when he encounters clarisse and confronts mildred's overdose.

Answer 1

I haven't read Fahrenheit 451 in a very long time, but I do remember this part. I think a possible reason as to why the author does this is to start creating conflict and introduce the real turning point of the story, when we find out what the real problem is. Hope this helped.
