Character Analysis

Captain Beatty is a bit of paradox. He's the head honcho fireman, but he knows more about books than anyone else. He burns these texts with a fiery vengeance (wink wink), but he spends half his time quoting from them. Did you notice how his speech is full of Biblical references? "You've been locked up here for years with a regular damned Tower of Babel," he tells the old woman. "You think you can walk on water with your books," he says to Montag. He even mentions the Greek myth of Icarus. He's the most well-read book-burner we've ever encountered.
