I have not read many of Bradbury's books, but what I have read I have found that he uses alot of the same images and characters. Has any one else found this as well?

I have found this out as well, because like you said I haven't read much of his work but I found that he likes using the same characters. Maybe he uses the same ones and he feels like he knows them really well, obviously since he created them, but he just wants to stick with what he knows on the characters.

I haven't read many aswell. I looked at it different though, I looked at why he uses some of the same characters is maybe because he has so many ideas for them that he makes different things to put them in.

I have found some as well like in another posting thing they were talking about the illustrated man and SWTWC. so there I believe is one example.

He does like to refer back to other stories. Like in Something Wicked This Way Comes, Bradbury refers to the Illustrated Man, which he has another novel with the name. I think it is very unique because it makes the readers want to read more of his stories to get a better idea of what is going on in the story.

Yes it did seem to me that he uses alot of the same images and characters. One that I found was the salamander he seemed to use that alot.

He uses the same images throughout the book, but I think this is really good, because it brings continuity to the story.
I really really like the way he uses words and images.
