I find it clear that the main point that Ray Bradbury is trying to push across in Something Wicked This Way Comes is that one should learn to appreciate what they have‚ and not strive to attain impossible flights of fancy. A reason for such that I will set forth is that often‚ when one attains something that seems impossible‚ a unknown‚ hefty price is exacted.

Something Wicked This Way Comes 1. In my opinion‚ one of the best moments in Something Wicked This Way Comes was when Will and Charles were trapped in the mirror maze.
