My first impressions of Guy Montag are that he is a simple man, does his job and everything else, no questions asked. He doesn't think too much about things or dwells on a certain subject for long. He doesn't look to much into things like Clarisse does. He also doesn't seem to understand the full extent of what he does. Clarisse says, "You know, I'm not afraid of you at all." in which Montag replies with, "Why should you be?" as if he doesn't burn houses down, along with centuries of knowledge, with a smile on his face.
