After Montag kills Captain Beatty and goes on the run, he soon realizes that Faber's house is the only place he can go. Montag and Faber watch tv, looking at the mechanical hound hunting Montag. Montag begins to imagine his own capture. Montag understands the state's need for propaganda and perhaps the futility of his little revolution. You will need to reflect on your second question yourself.
