What is the climax of this novel?What happens?How do the events of this novel make you feel?

The climax of this novel is when Montag kills his captain, Beatty with the flamethrower when Montag gets caught that he has a hidden stack of books at his house. It was because Captain Beatty was barraging Montag with words from old literature works that mainly contradicted that reading books is a very hideous and shame thing to do. Montag could not stand it. Moreover, Mildred, his wife, betrayed him when she, too, realized that she is part of the crime. Beatty kept berating and being abusive to Montag. Montag was so mad because he was already angry about the society he was living in, which did not accept people’s opinions and thoughts at all. He realized he was ignored and neglected through all of his life and wanted to do what his minds and hearts tell him to do. If Montag didn’t kill Beatty, the story would have just ended; Montag would get caught and punished and all of his books would get burned. Nothing would change except that most of the characters die. However, Montag slay his captain and keeps following his road to a change. As he kills his captain, Montag definitely showed his anger and his strong mind about believing and listening to his thoughts instead of the society and the people. When this climax happened, I was pretty satisfied and worried as well. The reason why I was worried was because I thought that if Montag kills the captain, he somehow will get caught and cause much bigger trouble and receive greater punishment. On the other hand, I was satisfied because I really did not like how Beatty had talked to his colleague, Montag, with no respect or love. Beatty was always full of sarcasm, bitterness, and pride. I was glad that he died ,but I was surely worried very much as well about Montag.
