They both work in very different worlds from us. They are both being suppressed by some kind of government. The are forced to be hidden from the truth.

Montag and Truman are both stuck in a fantasy world and are realizing it. Also, both of them have poor relationships with their wives. Finally, Clarise and Silvia both go to Montag and Truman to tell them about reality and then they both suspiciously disappear.

One similarity is that they are both in an altered reality. Another is that they both have someone helping them like Silvia with Truman and Montag with Faber. Finally, they both have a lacking relationship with their significant other(wife).

Truman and Montag don’t have a good relationship with their wives. They are also both living in a controlled society. They also both meet a girl who tries to tell them the truth but the girl disappears.

Truman and Montag both got paranoid at the end, they both had people who tried to share the trust with them and then disappeared, and they both are kind of clueless.

Truman and Montag both have their daily life interrupted by a pretty female specimen. They both start realizing things in their lives are amiss, that things aren’t normal to them anymore. They both are tried to be held back by authority figures.

Truman and Montag are both in a society where secrets and reoccurrences are common everywhere. Truman and montag both have a loveless relationship and they both have a job where they aren’t very beneficial to society considering Montag burns things and Truman’s job is technically fake.

One of the similarities that I saw was that they both were living their lives in a way that felt normal to them but in reality was not normal and they both started to have questions about the society they lived in and how it wasn’t really what they thought it to be.

Some similarities between montag and Truman are they’re both living in a non realistic world and they both don’t love their wives.

1. They both started off clueless of how the world really is.
2. They both have someone that kinda tries and tell them what is actually happening in their lives.
3. They both become curious and try and figure out what is happening in the world.

Montag lives in a society where people are forced to conform to normality, and Truman lives in a society where people are forced to be fake. Both of them are surrounded by lies. Truman has been lied to his whole life, and so has Montag when it comes to history and knowledge. Both Truman and Montag are satisfied with their lives until they begin to actually wonder. Once they see things as they truly are, they rebel.

They both are kind of being tricked. I think Montag is being tricked by the Captain and Truman is being tricked by everybody really. Neither of them love their wives. They both want some sort of adventure away from their normal lives. Truman wants to go on vacation to Fiji and Montag wants to make more copies of the Bible.

Three similarities between Truman and Montag are,
1. They both are being suppressed in a way
2. Their lives are both hidden from what’s true/actual
3. They are both realizing this and trying to get out

I would say that some similarities between Truman and Montag would be that they both don’t love the person they are married to. Another similarity is that someone that they met helped them to see that something was off in their lives. For Truman it was that his life was a TV show and for Montag it was that he was burning books. One more similarity between the two is that they both want to change how they are living their lives.

One similarity between Truman and Montag is they both have that person that lives outside the rules. That person for Montag is Faber and for Truman that person is Lauren. As the stories progress, both Truman and Montag start to realize their worlds aren’t what they claim to be. Another similarity is their wives play along too well. Both Meryl and Millie believe what they’re doing is right.

Montage and Truman both have wives that are very complacent. They do not care about there husbands they only think about them selves. Montage and Truman do not have all the information they are kep in the dark. They both try to escape the world they are living in.

Some similarities between trueman and montag are, they both want out of their job. Also, both of their wives want them to be safe and do the smart thing. They enjoy communication and being around people talking. They both want to discover more, Trueman has memories and doesn’t know where they came from, just like Montag is finding books and he wonders what they are about.

Montag and Truman both aren’t in love with their wives anymore. They are also actively trying to understand more about their society. They also have a mentor that gives them answers and lives outside of the “rules”.

Montag and Truman both live in dystopian worlds, and are both taught that their beliefs or ideas are wrong. They are also both being helped out by someone even though most people are opposed.

Some similarities between montag and Truman is that neither really sincerely loves their wives. They also both live in a somewhat unreal world. As well as they seem to be hidden from knowledge and both have been rather sheltered.

Truman and Montag are both looking for truth and balance in a confused and fake society. Truman has questions about why people are following and marking his every movement and I think Montag has to deal with this as well because he is looked at as a huge influential personnel due to the job he has. They are both falling out of love with their wives. They are also both trying to find out who someone is and where they came from.

Truman and Montag are similar in many ways. One of which is that they are both in a world that is working against them. Truman is trying to get out of the artificial world and Montag is trying to learn. Second both of them had a girl that made them question the world around them. Finally they both have people that are very good at convincing them that this world they live in is right
