Post 4, promt 2

One part that puzzled me was that Montag's superior used to read books. How can you go from loving to read books to helping destroy them all. He tells Montag that it is because the books are contradictory but that does not feel like a good enough reason to me. I feel that he was just frustrated by different points of view. I also feel like Beatty, Montag's boss, wanted to die. I think that he was pushing Montag to do it because he was so split over the issue. However, he could of just of underestimated Montag. That is where I am confused. It never clearly tells the reader which it really is but I guess that is for the reader to decide.
