    Water
    "He hung up his black beetle-colored helmet and shined it; he hung his flameproof jacket neatly; he showered luxuriuosly, and then, whistling, hands in pockets, walked across the upper floor of the fire station and fell down the hole." pg.4.
    Bradbury is using the motif in this passage by showing that after Montag gets back from lighting books on fire he is then taking a shower to get rid of all of the bad things he has done and to cleanse himself with the water.
