Claim evidence Reasoning

Beatty is purposely confusing when talking to Montag. When Bradbury states "God, what a pulse! I've got you going, have I, Montag. Jesus God, your pulse sounds like the day after the war. Everything but sirens and bells! Shall I talk some more? I like your look of panic. Swahili, Indian, English Lit., I speak them all. A kind of excellent dumb discourse, Willie!" (Bradbury 74). This quote illustrates Beatty using his deep knowledge of literature to confuse Montag by spewing literary references. This is Beatty's way to prepare Montag before he forces him to burn his house. This is a commonly used interrogation technique, confuse the subject until they are so muddled that they reveal/ do what they want you to do.
