Clarisse/Montag
Oxana
S.
Montag: Montag is 30 years old. Montag likes burning things. He
is very sensitive, maybe confused and has much imagination. He looks like
a fireman, sometimes like an astronaut in his fire-proof dress. Montag
wears a black uniform and a helmet with the number "451" on
it. You can always see a smile on his face. He has a salamander on his
arm and a phoenix disc on his chest. Montag smells of kerosene.
Clarisse: Clarisse is 17 years old. She has a milk-white face and
dark eyes. Her dress is white. She has a look of gentle hunger and tireless
curiosity. Maybe she smells good. Clarisse likes Montag and she is attracted
to him. She is crazy and peculiar. She likes to smell and look at things.
She likes to watch the sunrise. Clarisse criticizes fast driving. She
hates funparks. In the society of "Fahrenheit 451" she is an
outsider.

Ekaterini L.
Guy Montag is a 30-year-old man who loves to burn books and people.
He likes fire very much. Montag looks like a fireman and sometimes like
an astronaut in his fireproof dress and with his helmet (with the number
451 on the front). He also wears a black uniform and always has a smile
on his face which symbolizes that he loves to live dangerously and maybe
is a dangerous man. Finally he has emblems on his uniform, one on his
arm (a salamander) and a phoenix disc on his chest. He smells of kerosene.
He is very sensitive and maybe a little bit confused and has also much
imagination. By the way he compares Clarisse´s eyes with candlelight,
which is warm in contrast to cold electric light. That shows that he is
attracted to her.
In contrast to Montag, Clarisse McClellan is a 17-year-old girl
with a milk white face and dark eyes. She wears a white dress. She always
has a gentle hunger in her face and maybe she smells very good, because
Montag smells her before he sees her. Clarisse likes Montag very much,
she is attracted to him. She also is crazy, because she likes to smell
and look at things, for example to watch the sunrise. At last I would
say that she is a bit naive. She hates fast car driving, because you can´t
see all the beautiful things in the world while driving fast.

At first I will describe Montag`s outward appearance. He works
as a fireman and wears a black uniform with a salamander on his arm and
a phoenix-disc on his chest. He also wears a helmet which is numbered
with 451. He smells of kerosene and he has got a fiery smile gripped by
his face muscles, which never goes away. He works as a fireman; he doesn`t
extinguish fire but on the contrary, he ignites fire to destroy books.
It`s a pleasure for him to burn books. He doesn`t read the books before
he burns them, because it`s against the law. And he can`t imagine that
firemen put fire out a long time ago; he thinks houses have always been
fireproof. He is a sensitive and confused person. Clarisse has
got a milk white face(20-25) and dark eyes, her face is gentle. She wears
a white whispering dress. She has a look of hungry curiosity and seems
tireless(22); she also may smell good(1. 9) She likes Montag; she is attracted
to him(11). She has got a crazy manner(8,21).She likes to look at beautiful
things like the sunrise and she enjoys nature; she reads books in contrast
to others. Clarisse criticizes fast driving. Her opinion about Montag
is that he can`t see the world around him.
