Clarisse is
Inquisitive: She asks
questions about everything and wants to know
WHY.
Playful: She rubs the dandelion on
herself and Montag to see if they are in individually "in love', and she walks in the rain,
holding her head back to taste
it.
Experiential: (pg 21) When Montag
asks her if she goes around trying everything once, she says "sometimes
twice"
Perceptive and Sensory: (pg 7)
She says," I like to smell things and look at things and sometimes stay up all night, walking,
and watch the sun rise"
Introspective:
She thinks about everything she sees and smells. She says "Do you want to know what I do with my
time. I just sit and think." (pg
23)
Peculiar: (pg 23) as described by
Montag since she does not fit the mold of society. Because she doesn't, she is sent to a
psychiatrist.
Responsible: According to
Clarisse (pg 30)"I do all the shopping and housecleaning by
hand"
Social: This is Clarisse's
description of herself (pg 29). She says "Being with people is nice." She finds it easy to talk
with Montag, even though when he first meets her, she doesn't know
him.
Mildred is the antithesis of Clarisse. She is
Robotic: She does the
same things every day in a trance. She does not think on her
own
Selfish: she has never wanted
children, and she wants another wall of TV, even though they haven't paid for the third wall
yet.
Indifferent and Unfeeling : She
doesn't care if Montag is sick. She insists he go to work. If it upsets her TV viewing, she
doesn't want anything to do with it. When he vomits, she tells him that it is a good thing the
rug is washable. She doesn't care that the old woman died. "She's nothing to
me."
Mesmerized: By the
TV.
Fearful: She is so afraid that they
will find the books, she tries to burn them herself, and she is terrified when the books are on
the floor and the someone comes to the
door.
Obedient: She does not want to go
against any of the rules of the society. She is willing to accept anything the society tells her
to accept.
