Fahrenheit 451 book report

3. Country of author: United States of America

Guy Montag- He is the main protagonist in the story. He is a typical ignorant citizen until he meets Clarisse. He realizes that burning books is not the answer. He is a man who is willing to learn, but has a hard time grasping information. “I’ve been an idiot all the way… I thought I had part of the Book of Ecclesiastes and maybe a little of Revelation” [150].

Mildred Montag- Mildred is Guy Montag’s wife. She is the perfect example of an ignorant citizen. She is clueless and only wants to be one of the crowd. Her entire life revolves around the television and her ‘family’. “His wife stretched on the bed, uncovered and cold, like a body displayed on the lid of a tomb” [20].

Clarisse McClellan- Clarisse is a 17-year-old girl with the wisdom of an old man. She has a miraculous gift of observation. She shies away from conformity and is killed because she questions things, instead of just accepting them. “Her face was a slender and milk-white, and in it was a kind of gentle hunger that touched over everything with tireless curiosity” [5].
