Quote: “The poor girl’s better off dead.” Page 60
When reading this quote I was interested and struck for several reasons. One reason that I was awed by it is that one of my personal favorite characters is talked about so little and now people are saying that she’s better off dead? I truly feel that nobody is better off dead because how are you better off dead? You can’t change when your dead already but you can change yourself if you’re alive and willing to change. Clarisse is dead and nobody really cares. Sure Montag was kind of bummed out that he didn’t have anybody to talk to on the way to work but that’s it. This world of Bradbury truly is interesting because of the way people respond to certain things that happen. That is why I found this quote to be of interest.
Quote: “I’ll be in later. Maybe.” page 63
I found this quote to be of interest because of a couple of reasons. One reason is because with this single quote, it shows that Montag has finally taken a stand and is ready to fight back and not keep being the way he’s always been. He’s no longer going to take orders to destroy something as beautiful and worthwhile as books and he is finally going to show some emotion and be a little more like Clarisse was and try new things. Try to be happy. With this single quote the wheel has finally been set in motion for new things to arise.
