This unidentified woman tries to portray herself at the
beginning as a innocent by-stander to the call that the men have come to address. After
the men go about and prepare the house, and the books, she tells
them
"You
can't ever have my
books."
What impacts Montag
most during these moments is the fact that she then stays on the scene that the men
intend to light on fire, near the books. Even though Montag pulls her away she stays.
After Beatty begins a countdown, she remains there and pulls her own match out and
lights the fire choosing to die herself with the books. She plays
the role of an enlightener or a
trigger to Montag. She introduces to him that these books
have value worth dying for. She is almost a martyr for the
process of thought and this leaves great impact on Montag. It triggers his desire to be
on a quest to learn about why a person would do such a thing.
