It’s no exaggeration to say that Mildred is genuinely scared by Montag’s reading. Books are not part of Mildred’s life at all, so she’s suddenly forced outside her comfort zone when Montag turns the TV off and starts reading.

Mrs. Phelps likely cries when Montag reads aloud the poem “The Sea of Faith” because the poem tells of a dark, ignorant society that is similar to their own. To hear a poem that so plainly derides the way they live is enough to bring Mrs. Phelps to tears.

She is carried away by the emotion of the poem because she has never heard a poem read before. She begins crying, and she is not sure why. When the others ask, she responds that the poem is bad, and that’s why she was crying.

The women are shocked and confused, but Montag refuses to listen to Faber’s words of caution in his ear and says, “Did you hear them, did you hear these monsters talking about monsters?

When he finds the earpiece that Faber has been using to communicate with Montag, Beatty says that he will track Faber down and arrest him too. That is the point at which Montag turns the flamethrower on Beatty and burns him to death. In the middle of the crying Montag knew it for the truth. Beatty had wanted to die.

There are several ironies in Beatty’s death: Montag believes that Beatty actually wanted to die; he was intentionally goading Montag into losing his temper. It is ironic that Beatty, who was supposed to be the face of calm, rational order and sensibility, and a figure of the government’s power, was eager to die.

He suffers guilt for hiding books behind the hall ventilator grille and for failing to love his wife, whom he cannot remember meeting for the first time. But even though he harbors no affection for Mildred, Montag shudders at the impersonal, mechanized medical care that restores his dying wife to health.

Beatty wants to challenge Montag to his core, telling him that Mildred and his neighbors betrayed him. In ordering him to destroy his own home, Beatty feels that he will have totally destroyed the tiniest flicker of counter-cultural tendency in Montag’s attitude and character.

What secret does Montag reveal to his wife Mildred? He has multiple books in their attic and he wants to read them.

On page 40 of Simon & Schuster’s 60th Anniversary Edition of Fahrenheit 451, Mildred tells Montag that she doesn’t remember where or when they met. Montag then witnessed a woman commit suicide because she refused to leave her books.

Montag kills Beatty at the beginning of part three of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.
