| I think Bradbury uses the dandelion to represent Clarisse's innocent and curious personality. I don't think its so much about love for Mildred in that passage, but love for life and noticing the little things that Montag used to walk right by every day without actually taking in. Since their society is so obsessed with technology, he wouldn't usually notice something as small as flowers or rain.Clarisse was able to give Montag a better realization of the world's potential for greater and different things. |
