There are two main themes that dominate the story "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" by Richard Wright. These two themes interact and build on each other throughout the story.
The first theme is that of power. This is clear throughout the story in all the decisions Dave makes. In the story, Dave wants to own a gun. However, the gun is seen as a way to become powerful and masculine, something he has been denied. He cannot keep the money he earns, he has to obey his parents, he is not respected among his peers. This leads him to want to accomplish power in any way he can find. Moreover, he is denied this autonomy because of racial reasons.
On the other hand, the story also has a component of a coming-of-age story. Dave wants to achieve autonomy, and he wants to be able to act freely. He also wants to be more independent and more of an adult, which in turn signifies more power. This is why he gets the gun. And in this way, both themes are related and build on each other. However, Dave discovers that having more power does not equal being more of an adult.

the answer
if you can't see it the answer is
I believe that Faber's guilt stems from his cowardice. It is very easy to see that he is not brave, such as when Montag has to convince him to go to his printer friend and when he gives Montag the earpiece so that he is with him without actually being there. While he is one of the few intellectuals left in their society, I don't believe that he had much in the way of responsibility because they were fighting a losing battle. Even if he had done more, it ultimately would have done nothing because the minds of the mass would not have been swayed by one more mere voice.
Thus, his guilt stems from his inability to act, but he is being too hard on himself as there is only so much that one person can do, especially facing the odds that he did.
