Fahrenheit 451 Characterization


I’ve been reading a new book, called Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. One thing I’ve noticed about this book it that it has very interesting characters. Even if it is set in the future,  the characters and setting don’t seem very different from modern day life, other than people burn books and they have technology that is a little more advanced.

One character that I, personally enjoyed, is named Clarisse. She’s a young, strange girl who says she’s “seventeen and crazy…” Clarisse meets our main character, Guy Montag, when they are both taking a walk outside on a quiet night. She dies soon after, by getting hit by a car, but she changes Guy's outlook on life before she goes. She teaches him that details are sometimes the most important part of life, and people often end up missing them. I think she really changes the book and if she didnt exist, the story would have been bvery differant.

This is what I believe Clarisse looks like:
