vicious through amplification. When George sits at the table waiting for his house to serve dinner, Bradbury uses amplification in his thoughts and George thinks, “They were awfully young, Wendy and Peter, for death thoughts. Or, no, you were never too young, really” (4). After considering the idea that Wendy and Peter might be too young to understand or wish for death, he thinks over this again and comes to a contradictory realization that they likely do understand it. The amplification of…

Bradbury calls the children ‘Peter and Wendy’, which is an extremely ironic reference to Peter Pan. Peter and Wendy are characters from Peter Pan, implying that they are innocent, happy and uncorrupted whereas in this case, the children are neurotic, power hungry, feel no empathy, and are completely converse to the characters in Peter Pan.

Only because Bradbury writes about a nursery that changes scenes when the children think of different places, and the house cleans itself, brushes the teeth of the occupants of the house, and it even transports the people upstairs.
