As it is always the minor characters that makes a change or difference in the plot or story, in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury a main character, Guy Montag, meets a minor character, Clarisse McClellan, who changes his perspective entirely. When the two first meet its as if night and day are interacting for the first time because one, being observant, curious, and innocent meets the opposite who happens to be oblivious, uninterested in anything but what he knows, and cruel. Guy Montag is a man who doesn’t stop to appreciate little things at first and takes pride in his job which is burning books and helping to censor the society he lives in. However, Clarisse McClellan seems to always wonder about and takes her time questioning things.
