Guy Montag from the novel Fahrenheit 451 is a very proud of his job, as "It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed"(Bradbury 3) and gives the impression of an arrogant person as well. He enjoys his job, as he likes to burn things. Also, it is possible that he has a relatively weak stomach, as "'Leave that stuff in the blood and the blood hits the brain like a mallet, bang, a couple thousand times and the brain just gives up, just quits.'
'Stop it!' said Montag.
'I was just sayin','said the operator.
'Are you done?' said Montag." (Bradbury 15)
Guy Montag is also very observant. When he has just left his shower, he feels that someone is in the waiting room of the fire station. He sees that "...someone had been there. The air seemed charged with a special calm as if someone had waited there..."
Great reinforcement of each of you character traits. It would have gave a more full description with a few more traits. I is not as easy to make a mental image of him with only two. Overall great descriptions.
