How does the author use characters to make a statement about the value of human life in the world of F451? What does the author

Liula [17]

Incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the story, "Fahrenheit" 451 by Ray Bradbury.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For example, in the novel, the character Clarisse is portrayed as someone who appreciates nature, so much so that she finds time always to observe creation even though most people in her community are preoccupied with work and entertainment that they lack the time to do so.

Another character is Mildred, the wife of Montag, she is portrayed as someone who has a love for entertainment that is so strong to the extent it overshadows that of her husband. Her behavior contrast with that of Clarisse who has a healthy view of entertainment.

What the author, Montag is saying through his characters is that

those in his society do not value human life, recall we were told the police don't punish those who over speed, thus accidents occur often.
those in his society are less concerned about their families; which was made evident in the case of Mildred.
