But the women are still dramatically different in their belief systems. Throughout the movie Montag is searching to the similarities between the two women. Clarisse die in the novel and in the movie live and is his teacher in away. She became Faber who was a character in the novel but, was left out of the movie. The director left out a main character that’s a sign that the author’s message will be ruined. In the movie Clarisse guides Montag to the Harvard Hobos or as the movie called them the book people, in the novel Faber told Montag about the book people.
