Beatty's dying words are quoted from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar: "There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats, for I am arm'd in honesty that they pass me in an idle wind, which I respect not!" Beatty mocks Montag as a "Second-hand Literateur". Explain why Bradbury would portray the Fire Captain as a literary expert. Why has Bradbury chosen these final words for Beatty? Does Beatty provoke Montag merely to taunt him, or to provoke Montag into killing him?The above is a literature question. It's also a question I need to pull
22 out of
for. That's freaking
22/25.
The highest I've ever gotten, as comparison, is a measely 19.5.
