AS WE GROW WE CHANGE!

Evolution.

Dynamic. In definition, the word means a constant change or in the process of change. In gist, the keyword is change. So, a what makes a dynamic character? Simple, change. A dynamism character goes through a series of changes. Unlike, static characters who remain the same throughout the novel.   Now, in the book, Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury’s brightest dynamic character is, Guy Montag. The character goes from a good citizen in society to a rebel, from numb to actually feeling emotions, and finally from conversing bluntly to actually have thoughts and mindfulness in the conversation. At first, Montag is a great fireman in his dark society, he burns the books as he is supposed to and he enjoys this is seen right of the bat in the novel, “ It was a pleasure to burn. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed”, (1). We can explicitly see how Montag find satisfaction in burning the books as it is his job.  However, this changes. We can see the change when his rebellious side comes forth. Guy begins to hide books, he starts a stash at his house. Not only that but he seeks help from another character to help him read a book so, he ends up getting an earpiece where a character named, Faber, reads to him. . Therefore, it is clear that a change occurred Montag went from the rule enforcer to the rule breaker. . Secondly, in their first interaction Clarisse asks Mo tag if he is happy without thought he assumes his answer is yes however, once he actually processes the question he begins to see he is not as his life had been always numb and gray. Then, we can see this drastic emotion change when Montag explains to Faber what he is seeking from reading books and discussing them with others. He expresses his frustration with the way technology has taken over their lives: The televisions in the walls do all the talking while the people don’t talk to each other. This lack of human connection contributes to the unhappiness he realizes he’s been feeling, which is why he begins looking for something with greater meaning.We can see that Montag is yearning for new emotion he wants he feels the first ration for once his emotion is strongly represented and it was not before. Thirdly, Montag at first was a terrible person to have a conversation with his answers were always quick and short as seen in his first interaction with Clarisse. In other words, he answered without thought: quick and efficient like, a robot almost. However, as Montag encounters the wanderers sitting by the fire they hold a deep meaningful conversation you can see how Montag actually took his time to find the right reply and words to these people which I think is the behest change of all. In conclusion, Montag goes through an evolution  as many protagonists but, unlike the others he finds humanity in this robotic society he lives in which I think is simply beautiful.
