Just because you love something to start doesn’t mean you will love it in the end. In part one of Fahrenheit 451 Montag loves burning books and houses down, but in the end of part one his view on burning books has changed to him completely hating it. There can be arguments made that it isn’t true and he doesn’t go form loving to hating fire, but it will be very difficult. In part one of Fahrenheit 451, Montag enjoys burning books.

There are some arguments that could be worth making that those statements aren’t true, but in the end nothing will prove them
