These are the main characters
in the book along with some of my own thoughts about them.
Guy Montag – He starts
off as a regular citizen; completely ignorant from the fact that the world used
to be completely different. As the story progresses, he becomes more aware of
what the world has come to and has many of his own realizations about how he
living his life and his own happiness.
Mildred (Millie) Montag – Is a character who is always preoccupied in her own
personal world. She pays no attention to the world around her and instead gets
lost in the world of television with her on-screen “family”. She is described
as preoccupied and forgetful.
Clarisse McClellan – A
17 year old girl who everyone calls strange because of her curiosity and her
weird habits of walking outside while observing nature and thinking about the
past. She provokes Guy’s thought about his own life and how he’s living it. Not
like all the brainwashed robots that live in this futuristic world
Professor Faber – An
old retired English professor who Guy met about a year before the book starts.
He helps Montag start his rebellion against society. He is more of an
introverted character who avoids confrontation and refers to himself as a queen
bee who stays safe in the hive while the workers go out into the unknown.
Granger – One
of the “Hobos” Montag meets during his run from the law. He is a very polite
and well-educated man who shares some of the same values about books and
society as Montag. He is the leader of a group of book people who all memorize
certain works of literature so that they never die out.
