How Does Montag Change
When Montag saw Clairsse, the mood suddenly changed. When Montag was walking out, into the rain, it portrayed sadness he possessed inside of him. Later, while he was walking in “the rain was thinning away” (Bradbury 21). When Montag say her she represented the hope that lived within him. This explains why Montag feels like Clarisse has a lot of purpose that can one day, change the situations that are happening around them. Montag wants Clarisse to thrive through all of this despair because if she does, all the rain might go away.

    Comparing Fahrenheit 451 And Clarisse's Relationship

    First off, I really like this book in general because it has a lot of descriptive language and over all makes the book really interesting and makes it easy for following along because of all the imagery that is given. I honestly feel like Montag and Clarisse's relationship is much more than a “father and daughter” relationship. Clarisse is also so much different from everyone around her, in all honesty if I were to ever meet Clarisse in person id feel like she'd be such a unique individual, She would not care about what anybody said because she knows exactly who she is. In my opinion her uniqueness is probably why Montag is so intrigued by her. Her knowledge is very advanced, in the first few pages Clarisse points out that many people do…

    Body Seeing The Body David Snodgrass Summary

    The poem discusses the funeral of a woman and how she is presented in her funeral as someone people would be more likely to romanticize than what she actually was, perhaps out of a misguided sign of respect. The other more hidden meaning behind the poem is the author's reaction to the women herself and how she is portrayed in almost a spiteful, angry way because of his anger over her wasting her life in gray dullness.…

    Marie-Laure Character Analysis

    Marie-Laure had always been curious and questioned what ordinary people did. “‘Why not,’ she asks, ‘just take the diamond and throw it into the sea?’” (pg. 23). When she went blind however, even small tasks seemed daunting, and her father had to help her regain her courage. The Nazi’s invasion of France forces her to use that courage and not lose her mind in a seemingly difficult situation. “‘You did well, Marie-Laure. I’m proud.’” (pg. 117) says her father as they evacuate the city. Upon reaching Etienne’s house, Marie-Laure and her father settle down before her father is summoned back to the museum. However, he gets arrested along the way and sent to a German prison camp. Marie-Laure is fearful for her father despite his reassuring letters that he is alright. She becomes more secluded and isolates herself out of worry, “Only then, with her toes and fingers in the cold sea, does her mind seem to fully leave her father; only then does she stop wondering how much of his letter was true, when he’ll write again, why he has been imprisoned.”…

    Meursault's Criticism In Albert Camus The Absur

    He does not see it yet until he meets the women on the bridge. Clamence is coming out of his regular bar when he walks passed a woman in a black dress. The black dress did not cross the mind of Clamence that if she might be in a state of depression. He hears the splashing of the water as the women jumps into the freezing water. If what Clamence does for a living, doing good deeds for the helpless then he would consider a way to save this woman. Instead, he proceeds walking away. “Yet La Chute makes it clear that Clamence’s judgement is selective.” (Holman 145) He is not a selfless man, but one who determines whether if it is worth his time or not. Maybe if it were in daylight and people were around to watch that would be more of motive to attempt to save her. Clamence begins to face the absurdity in his life, and it has cast him into the life he is living now. He passes the first question of absurdity and suicide, and continues on living, seeing that his life was still worth something. He moved from Paris, a place where he considered heaven into a hell in Amsterdam. He is to never leave the island he is on, because a bridge is needed to cross onto another one. He is contained in the absurd walls because the bridge represents the absurdity in his life. He knows that all those lives he helped in the orphans were meaningless, because he could not have the compassion to risk his own life for another. “Love Your Neighbor as Yourself: not that the sense of special self-love should be expanded to embrace just a brother, or a close friend, but that any fellow citizen, or even fellow human, should be shown the same degree of concern that one feels for oneself. Those who fail to expand their concern outward in this way have, it is often suggested, stumbled at a crucial stage of their moral development they are destined to become psychopaths, or at least sad cases or “arrested development.” (Cottingham 799-800).…

    Fear and Shame in Arthur Millers' 'The Crucible'

    During the introduction of Paris on the first page it states “He was a widower with no interest in children”. This represents how he cares more about his reputation than his daughters health, although he does pray for Betty at the start of the play. This also symbolises what a negative personalities he obtains, and how he cares and prioritises the wrong things. He is shameful of the involvement of his family in the case.…

    Clèo From 5 To 7 Analysis

    In these instances, the viewer is given several views of Paris, however, this time through the window of the taxi. There appears to be an element of confinement – both Clèo and the viewer’s perspective is limited to a window frame. This implies that there is a subtractive element, lack of a bigger picture. Ironically, in the first taxi scene, the radio gives a report of the recent casualties in the Algerian war. The juxtaposition between what the viewer sees and what they hear indicates a certain extend of obliviousness, as it is overshadowed with the events taking place in Clèo’s…

    The Role of Women in the Metamorphosis and the Stranger

    In The Stranger, before Mersault “opened himself to the gentle indifference of the world” (122), he valued women only in regard with their physical appearance and made no attempt to relate to them in any other way. This is illustrated in Mersault’s relationship with Marie Cardona. He values her company only because he is attracted to her in a physical way with no regards to her character: “She had her legs presses against mine. I was fondling her breasts” (Camus 20). In fact, their characters are the complete antithesis of each other: her liveliness, “She laughed the whole time” (Camus 19-20), in contrast to his apathy, “It didn’t mean anything” (41), her love for him, “with a smile and she wanted to marry [Mersault]” (42), in contrast to his inability to reciprocate her feelings, “…she asked me if I loved her. I told her I didn’t think so” (35). This further highlights their disconnection from one another. He accepts his incapability to interact with her and thus, he…

    Mersault As An Absurd Hero In The Stranger By Albert Camus

    Mersault strives to find meaning in his life because horrible things happen to him. In the beginning he says, “Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe. I don’t know” (1). This basically shows that Mersault did not care too much when his mom died. In the book, Mersault doesn’t really show that Maman’s death affected him; he just hangs out with his friends and enjoys life. To get things off his mind, Mersault goes to the public beach to go swimming. While there, he runs into Marie Cardona, a typist in the office he works at. Marie finds out about his mother’s death but they forget about it and go to the movies. Marie seems like Mersault’s…
