What is the setting and what are the major events of pages 107-132 of Part Three of Fahrenheit 451?

There are two key events in this section of Fahrenheit 451.

First of all, using Faber's house as the setting, Montag visits Faber and they have a discussion about the fireman's sudden crisis of identity. In their conversation, Faber acts as a mentor to Montag: he teaches him that "books themselves are not magical" but that, in fact, their importance lies in the message they contain. Together, Montag and Faber develop an "insidious plan"...

There are two key events in this section of Fahrenheit 451.

First of all, using Faber's house as the setting, Montag visits Faber and they have a discussion about the fireman's sudden crisis of identity. In their conversation, Faber acts as a mentor to Montag: he teaches him that "books themselves are not magical" but that, in fact, their importance lies in the message they contain. Together, Montag and Faber develop an "insidious plan" to print more books and plant them in firemen's houses. They seek to bring down the system from the inside and reintroduce books and reading into this highly censored society.

Secondly, back at home, Montag's wife, Mildred, is entertaining two friends, Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles. As the women discuss the impending war, Montag suddenly produces a book and tells the ladies that he is going to read a poem. The poem is the (very apt) "Dover Beach," and it has a profound effect on everyone in the house. Mrs. Phelps is, arguably, the most overcome by the poem's message because it makes her "sob uncontrollably." This prompts anger from Mrs. Bowles, who believes that poems are worthless because all they do is make people upset.

While Montag later expresses guilt about upsetting Mrs. Phelps ("I made them unhappier than they have been in years"), it does not deter him from carrying out his plan. This section ends with Montag hiding a number of his books in the bushes outside so that Mildred cannot burn them.
