Who are the main characters in the novel? Do you like them? Why or why not? What is special about them? What do they reveal about the universal human experience?
The main characters in this novel, Fahrenheit 451, are Guy Montag, Captain Beatty, Clarisse, and Mildred. I like only Guy Montag and Clarisse, as they’re the ones who actually were seeking the knowledge and attempted to rebel against the norm and corrupted government. Clarisse wanted to spread what she believed in. They were smart, and they had willpower. That is how they are special, because they believed so strongly in what they believed was right, even though 99% of the population thought otherwise. Captain Beatty and Mildred were just examples of the bad community, the brainwashed people who believed the lies of the government. Captain Beatty was just evil, and he wanted power, rather than knowledge. They reveal the heroes of universal human experience. Martin Luther King stood up for what he knew was right: freedom of color. He had willpower and thus stood by what he believed was right. Other heroes like Ali, he had a never-ending will in boxing to never give up. Guy Montag and Clarisse are like heroes in their world, and act like Martin Luther King. He revolutionized the world, and knew what was right. Guy Montag and Clarisse stood up against the government and got what they believed was right.

Yes you are right about Guy being the hero. Mrs.Mc.
There are a lot of characters. My book, which is "Animal Farm" had numerous character more than any other books. Memorizing names of characters are very hard. I sometimes forget the names and get confused. I think a good way to memorize during reading the story is to write down the characters and features of the characters.
