Fahrenheit 451 Why was Montag's capture depicted on the TV even though he had escaped? Asked by bookragstutor on 28 Nov 08:47 Last updated by johnchow on 07 Oct 19:12
The firemen needed a better ending for the day's events, so they showed a body. It was more beneficial to them to have a body than to have the right person. Besides it would have made them look bad to have been outwitted by the 'criminal'.
