She is playfully mischievous and has a little bit of a cynical behavior during most of the game.

    MOTIF: MIRRORs There are references throughout the novel made on mirrors to emphasise the need for people to discover one’s true feelings and to become self-aware. Montag states that he believed Clarisse was just like a mirror as it was after meeting her and seeing himself in her eyes, that he was able to realize he was not happy, that he was actually alone, empty and lost in a meaningless society. Reflections of himself through his wife and the other firemen makes him realise just how shallow everyone is and how oblivious they are to their own unhappiness. Emphasise the need for society to re-evaluate at itself and change MOTIFS: PARADOXES Bradbury repeatedly uses many paradoxical statements—which are used to tell us that without real thinking, we are alive but are we really living.…

    Montag - The Phoenix The Phoenix is a bird that “falls and dies” in the fire, but always rises back up from the ashes. It represents the renewal of life after death within the ashes from the burning, and Montag can relate to this. The Phoenix is a good symbol for Montag because, at the end of the book, Montag joins the people, and they give the city a rebirth and brings the city out of the ashes. He also mentions that humans and the Phoenix can relate, because they both kill/destroy themselves in a fire.…

    Through two different journeys, “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne and “Araby” by James Joyce, we see messages expressed through the use of symbolism. Symbolism is used as “a substitute for the elements being signified” and they allow authors to provide a more meaningful message than a mere description could (332). In “Young Goodman Brown” and “Araby” we see similarities in the use of symbolism to explore questions about religious faith and the protagonists’ search for answers; but each of these stories include different representations of objects and places. For example, “Young Goodman Brown” includes color and object representations to emphasize his struggles throughout his quest while “Araby” uses the foreign world of the East…

    It is part of human nature to make mistakes and sometimes learn and grow from them, or sometimes repeat them. In “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the main themes of youth, new beginnings, wisdom, self image, and repetition of mistakes are exemplified through the use of symbols through the character’s perspective of themselves and their environment. The characters; Mr.Medbourne, Colonel Killigrew, Mr.Gascoigne, and Widow Wycherly are prime examples of people repeating mistakes even when given a second chance to learn and progress. Hawthorne’s theme of in order to grow as a person, one must learn from mistakes and progress as a person is best shown by vivid and explicit symbols; the rose, which symbolizes acceptance of old…
