Page 113--scene of Montag arriving at his house and he has to burn it
numb
featureless
burdensome
fire eaten
clenching rigidity
warped glass
incomprehensible storm
queer
nuzzling gout
These words were good to represent fear because they show things. Numb means you can't feel or can't move and that means you are so afraid or are intimidated. You might be so numb that your face would be featureless. Anything that is described as fire eaten reminds me of something that is reduced to ash and this is scary. Something that is incomprehensible is scary because you can't understand it and it's really a good way to describe chaos and that is something that is feared.
I'm not really sure what "gout" is, but a nuzzling gout sounds scary.
