    The document summarizes key passages from pages 67-88 of Fahrenheit 451 that build tension. Ambiguous dialogue between characters leaves their intentions unclear and causes the reader to feel uncertain and hopeful. A conversation between Montag and Millie creates conflict between the two characters as Montag's words imply Millie may not be truly loved by her family. The introduction of a new trembling old man further adds to the tension as his potential role is ambiguous. Overall, the use of ambiguous dialogue sows doubt and builds anxiety in the reader about the intentions and situations of various characters.
