Each character of Fahrenheit 451 seems to have a special meaning about the intentions of the author, Ray Bradbury.
Mildred- Bradbury describes Montag's encounter's with her as very far off and awkward. Mildred is portrayed as a normal character of this society, with problems with memory, insatiable greed, and totally half-empty in this world. "And suddenly she was so strange he couldn't believe he knew her at all." (pg. 39)
Clarisse - She is a core character in relecting on this society along with Montag, and she provokes his thought. Bradbury describes her as a mirror, thought-provoking all over the society. Even as she leaves the book, she leaves an impact on Montag that we can find out how it affects him.
At the end of part 2: The sieve and the sand, the book almost reaches a climactic point. The earpiece and technology that Faber uses essentially takes Montag over and an argument between Faber and Beatty begins. I enjoyed how the author uses Beatty and his knowledge of Literature to strike down Literature.
