Clarisse

Anti-Social

She talked about how in school, she didn't talk to that much people. She lingered around in subways, honing in on conversations just to come a conclusion that the people around her just talk about the same "boring" things everyday. This isn't why she doesn't acquit herself with anyone these days. But Montag and her have seem to find a connection with each other. ""But most of all," she said, "I like to watch people. Sometimes I ride the subway all day and look at them and listen to them. I just want to figure out who they are and what they want and where they're going." (pg 28, Bradbury)

Beatty

Self-Centered

He wasn't reading into the signs that Montag didn't want to burn his books. This can imply that Beatty only thinks for himself in a way, and won't take in consideration for others (in this case, it was Montag not wanting to burn his books, but Beatty insisting that he did.) "'Sit down Montag. Light the first page, light the second.'" (pg 72, Bradbury)

Mildred

Robotic

She was seen during the same routine everyday. This can be seen as a bit off because it looks like she doesn't really have much purpose in life then to spend her time just watching tv and do the same things over and over. " There had been no night in the last two years that Mildred had not swum that sea, had not gladly gone down in it for the third time. " (pg 10, Bradbury)

Montag

Rebellious

He was shown being rebellious to the fireman crew. More specifically, to Beatty. He didn't agree with their ways, especially when it involved books. He didn't like the idea at all of the fireman crew wanting to burn his books at all."He opened his mouth and it was Clarisse McClellan saying, "Didn't firemen prevent fires rather than stoke them up and get them going?"" (pg 31, Bradbury)

Brash

When talking to Clarisse at the beginning of the story he seems to be very assertive for himself. "He stopped walking, "You are an odd one," he said, looking at her. "Haven't you any respect?"" (pg 6, Bradbury)

Emotional

In the story, when him and Clarisse met, he seemed very attached to her. When she leaves, this was more evident when he was thinking about her and about how much he missed her company and the sense of feeling that he had when he was around her. "He saw himself in her eyes, suspended in two shining drops of bright water, himself dark and tiny, in fine detail, the lines about his mouth, everything there, as if her eyes were two miraculous bits of violet amber that might capture and hold him intact." (pg 5, Bradbury)
