In Fahrenheit 451, Montag is perhaps best known for taking risks. He takes a risk when he steals books and hides them behind the grille of his ventilator. He also takes a risk when he starts reading the books, because he knows that his home could be burned or, even worse, he could lose his life. Similarly, Mildred takes a risk by agreeing to read his books instead of reporting her husband to the authorities.
Montag also takes a risk when he reads the poem, "Dover Beach," to Mildred and her friends in part 2. He knows that any of these ladies could report him to the authorities, but he is so disgusted by their lack of empathy and emotion that he cannot stop himself.
Faber also takes risks in Fahrenheit 451. Notably, he agrees to help Montag bring down the fireman system, and he gives Montag a two-way communication device. He also takes a huge risk when he helps Montag to escape the Mechanical Hound and flee the city.
Risk-taking behavior is, therefore, central to the major characters in Fahrenheit 451.
