Attention Getter. Titles and Authors. While there are some differences between CLarisse in F451, and Marylin in “The Cold Equations” are minor, the similarities are unmistakable. The comparisons of those who don't conform to society are punished, the government controls all that are weak, and neither character acts maliciously, but still punished. Concluding Statement and Connection to Thesis.
Those who don't conform to the norms of society are punished. In this society, what the government calls normal, is not normal enough for one person to be killed for being an “outcast”. On page 47, “I think she's gone, I think she's dead.” Mildred implies that Clarisse is dead which starts suspicion that she had something to do with Clarisse's disappearance.
