Answer:
In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, readers compare the characters of Clarisse and Mildred. Although they may seem like o have many differences, they also have quite a few hidden similarities.
Clarisse and Mildred come off as very different characters. Clarisse is a happy “reflective mirror” of a girl, while Mildred is a woman who thinks of her television show as her family. Clarisse lives a happy life, while Mildred has to tell herself that she is happy. The characters seem to have extreme differences, but the similarities are there if reader dig deep.
Mildred and Clarisse both have extreme stubbornness. Mildred didn’t even want to give up watching her show when Montag was hiding books. Clarisse didn’t want to change her ways to fit in with society. While this similarity may seem minuscule, it has a very large impact on how the book turns out.
These two characters have many things to compare and contrast, but it is clear that they do have similarities if they are searched for deep enough.
I hope this helps and it’s not too late. (Sorry the writing kinda sucks, it’s 12:00am and I am on a phone).
