Farenheit 451 is an entertaining story, with a powerful meaning. The moral of this novel, is that life isn't worth living unless your living it the way you want to. One character in this story perfectly represents living your life on your beliefs. Her name is Clarice.
Clarice inspires Montag with her joyfulness and love of life,to question his own happiness. He realizes that he doesn't even love his wife, and probably never did. He also realizes that if he continues his job of being a fireman, he will never be happy. He also begins to question the culture of the world he lives in. In a world where no one is allowed to have or even read books, the knowledge of the people is dependedent on what they learn from television. Clarice makes Montag question this. Another important theme shown throughout Farenheit 451, is the idea our culture is depending on technology too much. This is represented in the book mainly by Millie. She truly believes that the TVs in her parlor are her family!
The themes represented in this novel, are shown through the culture. Clarice changed Montag's life, even though she barely knew him. She made him think twice about his life, and was the most influential character in the story.
