Guy Montag

Guy Montag; a fireman, is the protagonist. In the universe of the novel, the
traditional role of the fireman is subverted: buildings are largely made from
fireproof materials, and the job of a fireman is to burn books. Instead of
preserving the past, a fireman now destroys it. Montag revels in his work and
is a respected member of society. However, when he meets Clarisse
McClellan and she asks him if he is happy, he experiences a crisis

Mildred Montag
Mildred is Guy’s wife. Although Guy cares very deeply for her, she has
evolved into a person he finds alien. Mildred has no ambitions beyond
watching television. She represents society superficially happy, deeply
unhappy inside, and unable to articulate or cope with that unhappiness.
Mildred’s capacity for self-reliance and introspection has been burned out of
her.

Captain Beatty
Captain Beatty is the most well-read and highly educated character in the
book. he has devoted his life to destroying books and maintaining society's
ignorance. Unlike the other characters. Beatty is motivated by his own desire
to return to a state of ignorance. He was once a rebel who read and learned
in defiance of society, but knowledge brought him fear.  

Clarisse McClellan
Is a girl living near Guy and Mildred, Clarisse rejects ignorance with childlike
honesty and courage. Not yet broken by society, Clarisse still has a youthful
curiosity about everything around her, demonstrated by her constant
questioning of Guy

Her ignorance is the natural, beautiful ignorance that marks the beginning of
life, and her instinctive efforts to answer questions represent the best of
humanity’s instincts.

Professor Faber
Professor Faber is an elderly man who was once a teacher of literature. He
has seen society’s intellectual decline in his own lifetime. He is positioned as
the polar opposite of Beatty in some ways: he despises society and believes
strongly in the power of reading and independent thought, but unlike Beatty
Granger
Granger has rejected ignorance, and with it the society built on that
ignorance. Granger knows that society goes through cycles of light and dark,
and that they are at the tail end of a Dark Age. He has taught his followers to
preserve knowledge using only their minds, with plans to rebuild society
after it has destroyed itself.

Old Woman
The old woman appears early in the story as Montag and his fellow firemen
discover books in her home. The old woman sets herself on fire and dies with
her books. Montag steals a copy of the Bible(baybol) from her home. The Old
Woman’s hopeful act of defiance against the consequences of ignorance stays
with Montag. He can’t help but wonder what books might contain that would
inspire such an act.
