Fahrenheit 451 Character Analysis

(MIP) In this book, the readers can clearly see that people have a loss of emotions.(SIP) This meme is trying to tell the audience to resist using their technology so they don’t lose their emotions like the characters in Bradbury’s novel. (STEWE-1) The main character Montag meets a young girl named Clarisse.They immediately become fond of each other and start to have many conversations. Just as they were getting to know each other, Montag finds out that Clarisse has died. When he starts to talk about her, Mildred doesn’t care and doesn’t feel sad that a young girl passed away.“‘She 's dead. Let 's talk about someone alive for goodness sake”(68). We can see that Mildred only cares about herself and her happiness. She doesn’t have any sympathy towards Clarisse and her family who’s bearing with a loss. (STEWE-2) As Montag starts to read a book to her, he comes across a point “‘That favorite subject, Myself”’(68), Mildred then responds saying “‘I understand that one”’(68). Mildred barely thinks about life, but when she does, it 's only about herself and herself only. She won’t have a single thought about others, not even her husband. (SIP-B)The book clearly shows that people in the society have no feelings towards others as they kill and hurt each other. (STEWE-1) When Montag gets angry, he says he has the urge to smash and kill things. Mildred tells him to take the car and drive fast outside. She says “It’s fun out in the country. You hit rabbits, sometimes you hit dogs”’(61).
