Which secondary character is the most important in the novel Fahrenheit 451? Explain your choice.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:17 am
I think that Clarisse is the most important secondary chracter in the novel because she is the reason for Montage unlike behavior. If he had never met her he would just go on with the way he was and there would be no story to tell. Her free thinking has Montage going against society.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:18 am
The secondary caharter that is most important in the novel is Mildred. I say this because she affects the main charcter greatly. She is one of the main reasons why Montag is wondering and determined to find answers why things are what they are.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:18 am
The most important secondary character in Fahrenheit 451 is Professor Faber. Faber gives Montag the initiative to overthrow the fire houses and cease the burning of books. Faber is an accomplice and a aquaintance.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:20 am
The most important secondary character in he story is Clarisse McClellan. Clarisse is the main reason why Montag has decided to read books which is against the law.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:20 am
i think the most important secondary charater in fahrenheits 451 is mildred because she is the one that knows that montag has the books and he is reading them. if she tells on him she wouldnt have no more pralo walls. she really doesnt really care about him she cares more about the parlo walls because that is what she calls her “family”.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:21 am
The most important secondary character Clarrisse because she changes the stories mood throughout the story. When Clarrise was talking to Montag she changed the way that he thought about the life that he was living. She was the person that made Montag read books and break the law. When Clarrisse died she changed the mood of the story once again.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:21 am
I think that clarisse is the most important secondary charachter because she taught montag how to be a free thinker and to think outside of the box.that is also why he has begun to read books and not go to work.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:21 am
I think the most important secondary character is Mildred becuace she is Montag’s wife. She tried to kill herself at one point. Also she says that her things are more important to her than Montag.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:22 am
I believe that Adelaide (the woman at 11 No. Elm, City.) She was the most important because Clarisse may have made Guy doubt it all, but her death finally made him snap, also she showed him how valuable these books are, and “gave” him the Bible.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:23 am
I think the secondary chracter is Mildred. She is a huge part of Montag’s life. Also she is a part of the reason Montag starts to second guess himself and rebel.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:28 am
I think Dr.Faber is the 2nd most important character because he helped start an underground book organization to help keep books alive insteat of letting everyone destroy them
November 4th, 2009 at 9:29 am
dear Kap,
I dont think Clarisse is the best choice. She is a big part of Guy Montag but she only effects him so much.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:30 am
I agree with this response because i also beleive that Clarisse is the most important secondary character in the story. Without Clarisse in the story Montag wouldnt ever be brave enough to stand up for himself and read books.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:31 am
I think the secondary character that is the most important is Captain Beatty besides Montag. I think so because, he always showing up in the book.Montag was also mostly around Captain Beatty in the book because he works with him at the fire department.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:31 am
Clarrise, because she made Montag realize not everyone is the same & how ignorant the world is becomming, such as Mildred (Montags wife) is one of them who are like Robots that the people above them dont want to think independently….
November 4th, 2009 at 9:31 am
Dear,K.A.P
I think that what you said was correct because she really did open Montags eyse and mind to something greater. One sentence you wrote was that she changed the mood which is really good. I think so beacuse its like a breath a fresh air for Montag to see something new amd creative. Another is she changed his way of his life which is true.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:32 am
dear AH,
I agree with you because I also think clarisse changes the mood of the story greatly with her actions. I agree that she is the main person that made Montag break the law and read books. I believe that Montag needed a push to live a better life and Clarisse was that push to do so.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:33 am
Dear Ah,
I don’t think that Clarisse persuade Montag to read books. It was the women from 311 elm street. Clarisse persuade Montag to have fun in life.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:34 am
Dear DMB,
I affirm your message, that Clarisse is the most important, because it is mostly true. Faber did help out Guy with his pursuits. Also he helps me confirm that this change to the area is recent. One sentence that you wrote that stands out for me is “Faber is an accomplice and a aquaintance,” I think this is usefull, because it wraps up the general point of Faber.
Another sentence that I accord was: “Faber gives Montag the initiative to overthrow the fire houses and cease the burning of books,”
This stood out for me because, it was the only other sentence in the blog, other than that it was Faber. But also because it puts into depth of why you believe this.

Dear, J.D
:):):):
I agree that Mildred is A very important character in F. 451. I beleive that she is the ost important secondary charcter. She does have a huge impact in montags life and the effect of that is making him think twice on everything.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:35 am
Dear, A.P.S:
I think that your message was correct because she did affect Montag greatly when she was alive but she also affected him more when she died. I also think that his weird behavior was due to him hiding books and stealing the books. That is why I think that you are correct.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:35 am
Dear,K.M.A
I read your comment and you are right in my opinion and i think the samething. One thing that stands out is that she is a free thinker but not in those exact words though, but it is correct.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Dear A.S.P,
I disagree with you. i think its better for him to find out the real truth about what he has been the whole time. I think that because of her he wouldnt have to act and feel guilty for who he is.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Dear, A.P.S:
I agree with your response becuase I think that Clarisse is important too. She has changed Montag’s mind about reading books. Also I thihnk that if Clarisse had never had a part in the book it wouldn’t have been the same.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:37 am
Dear, DMB:
I liked your post about Professor Faber because it agreed with me. 1 thing i remember about your post was that Faber was his accomplice (which he is entirely) because it just makes them sound devious
November 4th, 2009 at 9:38 am
Dear AJ,
I totally agree with you. Because he realizes that his life is being ruled by his wife and Captain.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:38 am
Dear, MKD,
I affirm your message, Adelaide is one of the most important charcters in F451. She makes Montag feel like books are people and people shouldn’t be burned. I agree that her death made him change. One sentence that stood out for me was ” …also she showed him how valuable these books are, and “gave” him the Bible.” I think this is a crucial expeirence for montag.
Another sentence that I believd was essential was that Clarssise didnt do much to help montag.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:39 am
Dear Aj,
I dont think that Clarisse is the best chracrter.I mean why did you choose her? She is a good part of his life but not that big.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:41 am
Dear D,
That is a very good reason but i totally dont agree.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:43 am
Dear MKD,
I affirm that your message, Adelaide is the most important character, because she change montag. She makes him snap and take a bible. One sentence that stood out to me was ” also she showed him how valuable these books are, and “gave” him the Bible.” I think this is accurate. because without her death montag would not have had thoughts to overthrow the firehouses.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
i think Clarisse Mcellen is the most important secondary character because she is the reason why Montag is questioning everything.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
I think that Clarisse is the best choice for the seconddary person in F451. She is the one who made him think more about reading books. Also that before this time people read books for information. I believe she left a big impact on Montag’s life, and that’s why she is the secondary person.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
i think that clarisse is the most important secondary character because for one she was in the first part of the book where it was mostly montag and clarisse … She also is the person that started to get montag to start thinking about who he really is and what he really does at his job and how deep down does he really feel about burnging books. After she dies montag always refers back to her when things are bad and he is confused or when it comes to books she is the first one to come to his mind.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
I think that Faber is the most important secondary character, because he helps out Montag in so many ways. He gives out lots of information to Montag about books and whats in them. Montag turns to him for help because he is the only one he trust. Thats why I think Faber is the most important secondary character in the novel F451.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
I think the mechanical hound is the secandary character because with out the mechanical hound people with books wouldnt get caught. And montag is afraid of the mechanical hound that is how he shows his fear. And the auther said you cant have the movie with out the mechanical hound
November 4th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
I think the most important secondary character is Millie. I think this is true because she has a major impact on his actions. she’s part of the reason he’d like to start a new life, the negative energy that montag recieves from her is highly unecessary but thats how society has made her…
November 4th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
I think that Clarisse is the most important because she was the one that got Montag thinking from a different perspective in the first place. Yes, he was hiding books, but Clarisse made it even more tempting to do what Montag is doing now.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
I think the most important secondary character in Farenheit 451 is the lady on 311 elm that committed suicide. I think she is important because her killing herself made Montag wonder what was so special about books. It really made Montag curious to learn more about books and what are in them. I think her death makes him want to explore why the books were so important, So important that she committed suicide.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
I think that Clarisse is one of the most important characters because she is the one who inspired Montag to start reading books.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Faber is undoubtubly the most important charector in this novel. Although Clarisse played an important role in the story, we can assume that guy would have began to get curious anyways. without Faber Guy wuld have no one to turn to, no one to ask questions and would probably be in serious trouble with the law.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
The most important secondary character is Mildred because she is always in the story. She is the one who Montag reveals his books to first.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
The secondary chracter that I think is most important is Faber beacause he gives Montag someone to talk to. He gives Montag a reason to go on with his reading. He also gives Montag information on how the world use to be.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
i think the most important secondary character in farenheit 451 is Clarisse McClellan because I think she is the main reason he starts to want to read. Once he started talking to her he started to question his job and his marriage. Before he met her he loved his job and everything was fine but when she came around he actaully started to think about things.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
dear cbc,
i disagree with you i think the secandary person should be in the story the whole time
November 4th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
Dear A.R.A,
I agree with you completely. Because Montag met Faber BEFORE Clarisse ☺
November 4th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
I heartily agree with you R.P. It is undeniable that Professer faber is the most important person in this story. Without Faber this story would have been over long ago.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Dear, V.L.W.
I disagree with your choice “the mechanical hound”. One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is “The author said you can’t have the movie without the mechanical hound” That doesnt mean it’s the secondary person. So I don’t think it’s the right choice.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
dear, A.P.S:
i really liked and thought the same about your message. because i too thought that clarisse was the most important secondary character, also i agree with the fact that she is the reason for montags unusual behavior because she is the one that asked him so many questions and got him to question society.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Dear, AP:
I agree with your message because it says that Clarisse helped Montag start to have fun and read books. Without her he would still be a boring, dull person who just burns books. ” Her free thinking has Montag going against society.” I like that quote because i think it’s true.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
Dear, CBC:
I agreee with your message, Clarisse is the most important secondary character, in F451. SHe is the reason why Montag thought about who he really is. Also, I agree that she is why montag is questioning how he feels about books.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
Dear L.R:
I believe your comment about millie is completely true. She cares nothing about montag she only cares about the parlor walls and montags money. The comment you made about her being the only one knowing about montag and his book reading, so if she were to inform someone about that he’d lose his job. which means no more money and in turn she wouldn’t be able to get another parlor wall.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
i think that clarisse is the important character because when she wasn’t there,montag felt a silence.clarisse was the only person that care about people and Mildred only cared about the parlor walls.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Dear, JLR i dont think mildred has much of an effect on this book. She isnt really significant. The only real part she has in this book involves the parlor walls but nothing else
November 4th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
dear AH, i agree with you beacause clarisse was important in the story, she did make alot action in the story because of her he got a chance to read books and see what they are about.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Dear,B.B.D
I agree with you in every way. I think that Faber is the most important character next to Guy Montag.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
I think think that Clarrisse is the most important secondary person. Even though the book says shes dead, if Guy hadnt met Clarrisse, the book would just keep going as a boring tale about book burnings & Guy wouldnt of been interested in books
November 4th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
i THiNK THAT MiLDRED iS THE SECONDARY MAiN BECAUSE THE FACT THAT SHES MONTAGS WiFE AN THE SiTUATiON WHERE SHE TRiED TO COMMiT SUiCiDE AN SHE PROTECTS THE “PALOR WALLS”. AN THE MAiN CHARACTER HAS A PROBLEM WiTH HER SHE’S LiKE THE ANTAGNAST! AND MONTAG iS LiKE A PROTASiNAST!
November 4th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
i disagree with anyone that think clarisse is the most important secondary character, she doesnt help montag in anyway.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
The most important secondary character in fehrenheit 451 is faber he knows what montag is going through and trys to help him figure out what is happenig in the world and how to fix it.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
i agree with you DJS because clarisse is one of the reason why montag started reading.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Dear D.P,
I agree with you because if you took the mechanical hound out of the story it wouldn’t matter the fireman would still find out people have books and STILL burn them.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
dear, hmc i disagree with with your comment about clarisse. she doesnt help him in anyway.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
Dear, DJS:
I agree with you that Clarisse McClellan is an important secondary character because she did put other ideas in Montags head. Some of her ideas made him wonder about books and about the world outside of his lifestyle. One sentence you wrote that stands out to me is..”he started to question his job and marriage” Because I think that Clarisse is the reason that he started to question things.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Dear, BBD
I agree with u that faber is the most important secondary character
November 4th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
dear r.p.
i disagree with you because i think that Clarisse
is the most important character because she is one of the reason why montag started to read in the first place.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Dear B.S.P,
I disagree. The suicide lady on elm street is was only someone that popped in on the story. If anything, we dont even know her name. She was just a reminder & a guilt that Guy had. If she lived & Guy got to meet her, then she might be considered a secondary character.
