Clarisse is a seventeen year old girl, she’s considered an outcast of society because of her habits, which include hiking, and making questions.
She is a very happy girl very different than other girls her age. She herself represents individuality and free thinking. She’s real, alive, vibrant, and dynamic. She makes Montag look at the world differently than how he used to see it as. She makes Montag change and turn against his society by her ideas and behavior. She then gets murdered, but I believe that she dies because the government killed her for being a different
individual.
