In the book , Farenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, there are a lot of symbols present. But, the most omnipresent symbol is the fire symbol. The plot of this book depends solely on this symbol. The reason for this symbol’s importance is that Montag’s changing attitudes reflect the differing meanings of the fire symbol. If one examines the way Bradbury uses the fire symbol to reveal Montag’s attitude towards life and his society, one recognizes that everything has good and bad qualities. It is in also in one’s best interest to take only the good.
First, identity will come into play with Montag hardships in this book many times. Clarisse says, "'You're one of the few who put up with me. That's why I think it's so strange you're a fireman, it just doesn't seem right for you, somehow.' He felt his body divide itself into a hotness and a coldness, a softness and a hardness, a trembling and a not trembling, the two halves grinding one upon the other" (Bradbury 23-24). She gets him to open his eyes a little on their first encountering, and each time after that more and more. When she dies I think it finally hits him that things are going on in this world that the government purposefully doesn't want them to see. After seeing the Mechanical Hound Montag asks, "All of those chemical balances and percentages on all of us here in the house are recorded in the master file downstairs. It would be easy for someone to set up a partial combination on the Hound's ‘memory,’ a touch of amino acids, perhaps. That would account for what the animal did just now. Rea...

Throughout Fahreinheit 415, Montag was warned to stay away from books and the thought of expression as he was surveyed by the mechanical hound. The hound was a sniffer of books and controlled by the firehouse to keep the streets safe from anyone reading literature. Meaning, the hound definitely did not like a character like Montag and this hate made Montag a suspect in its green-blue neon flickering eye bulbs. Montag got a whiff of the watchful dog when “The Hound half rose in its kennel and looked at him… It growled again, a strange rasping combination of electrical sizzle…” (23). Montag, interested in the hound, touched its muzzle and was given and aggravated response. Startled at the hound’s reaction Montag said, “’No, no, boy,’ [with] his heart pounding. He saw the silver needle extend upon the air an inch, pull back, extend, pull back. The growl simmere...
Both Elizabeth Braddon’s novel, Lady Audley’s Secret and the critical essay by Jill Matus examine the concept of “madness” as it relates to Victorian society. At first glance, the novel’s use of madness seems to be nothing more than a plot device of a revelatory manner. It is hard to gainsay this initial reaction, but upon further thought and in light of Matus’ essay, the condition of madness provides a springboard for multiform interpretations of the text. The novel seems fully aware of the hazy line that surrounds the condition of madness. Lady Audley herself recognizes that, intellectually, she was always in control of her actions, turning the motivations of her crimes to the force of emotion. As Matus’ article touches upon, this distinction

In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, Mildred Montag’s life represents a body in a tomb, basically a “tomb world.” Mildred cuts herself off from the outside. This idea applies to Mildred who lets herself live in a world where she is almost gone, holding onto whatever the world gives to her. She is described as someone who just talks to talk, “He lay far across the room from her, on a winter island separated by an empty sea. She talked to him for what seemed a long while and she talked about this and she talked about that and it was only words, […] (39). There is a quote by Oscar Wilde that is very true to this book, “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist.” Mildred doesn’t have any substance to her, she lives in a world
Aristotle once claimed that, “The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” Artists, such as Louise-Elizabeth Vigée Le Brun and Mary Cassatt, captured not only the way things physically appeared on the outside, but also the emotions that were transpiring on the inside. A part no always visible to the viewer. While both artists, Le Brun and Cassatt, worked within the perimeters of their artistic cultures --the 18th century in which female artists were excluded and the 19th century, in which women were artistically limited-- they were able to capture the loving relationship between mother and child, but in works such as Marie Antoinette and Her Children and Mother Nursing her Child 1898,
