Fahrenheit 451

What is the explanation which Montag and Fabre arrive at for how so very much could have happened within one week? Do you think this is a logical explanation for the timeline? Explain.

Their explanation for the things they were a part of was that they'd finally done the right thing, that they'd done what they had to do, and that it had all been coming for a long time.

Good Christ, the things I've done in a single week! "

"You did what you had to do. It was coming on for a long time."

"Yes, I believe that, if there's nothing else I believe. It saved itself up to happen. I could feel it for a long time, I was saving something up, I went around doing one thing and feeling another. God, it was all there. It's a wonder it didn't show on me, like fat. And now here I am, messing up your life. They might follow me here."

"I feel alive for the first time in years," said Faber. "I feel I'm doing what I should have done a lifetime ago. For a little while I'm not afraid. Maybe it's because I'm doing the right thing at last. Maybe it's because I've done a rash thing and don't want to look the coward to you. I suppose I'll have to do even more violent things, exposing myself so I won't fall down on the job and turn scared again.
