Comparing Mary Maloney And Albury's Lamb To The Slaughter By Ray Bradbury

One of the most prominent similarities between the two is the alienation they felt from their mothers. Despite the love they

A majority amount of stories may have a similar trait to another piece of writing. A large amount of stories have been compared in ways such as theme, settings, characters, irony, and close evidence of foreshadowing. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and “There Will Come Soft Rains,” by Ray Bradbury are an example of similar stories by sharing some of the same qualities. These two readings can be said to be identical in some ways by containing a common idea of negative effects of war and the value of the natural world but can be contrasted by being consisted of two different kinds of main characters.

If you have ever read the stories “Harrison Bergeron” and Fahrenheit 451 I’m sure you would recognize the similarities and differences between the two. For example, one of the similarities between the books would be how the main characters from Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag and Mildred Montag are very similar to the main characters Harrison and Hazel from “Harrison Bergeron.” The other example of similarity between the two stories would be how the government realized the desire for equality that people have and use that to keep society at below average intelligence levels. One difference that I found between the two stories was how different the restrictions were in each of the stories.

You would think that in a society like the one in Fahrenheit 451, everyone would be similar. That's not the case for Mildred Montag and Clarisse McClellan. Throughout the book, Mildred and Clarisse show multiple traits of themselves that are very different. They're not similar in almost anything. During Fahrenheit 451, Mildred and Clarisse are completely opposite people and that is shown in the differences in their personality, values, and relationship with Montag.

Through the past couple of weeks, I’ve read these two very interesting books; “The Diary of a Young Girl” by Anne Frank and “Summer of My German Soldier” by Bette Greene. These two books are told from the perspectives of two young girls, who struggle through life as Jews. “The Diary of a Young Girl” is told from the perspective of Anne Frank and “Summer of My German Soldier” is told from Patricia Bergen’s perspective. Anne and Patricia have many similarities, but they also contrast in some ways too. My goal is to show how they are similar and how they’re also different.

The relationship between Montag and Mildred is just elaborate. Montag does not love her but rather feels pity for her. He feels like she is an empty shell who only cares about the “family” which is

While there are many comparable characters between the story and the film, the most prominent similarities are with Jon Anderton and Guy Montag. For example, both men had government jobs in the beginning that they both deemed was ‘respectable’, but in the end had betrayed to follow their own free will. In “Fahrenheit 451”, Guy’s wife Mildred had turned him in after an incident regarding her and her friends, while similarly in “Minority Report”, Jon’s ex-wife Lara had informed Burgess of Jon’s arrival in secret. Beatty and Lamar Burgess are also comparable, as they both were leaders of an association that was intended to prevent an action even though they both committed the crimes, and they both died at the hands of the protagonist.

The Theme is told by the similarities and differences of the two novels.If it is from the future or the present there are things that can change a person's life. Alas even if they are poor, rich, in the middle there is one thing that can change them all. That one thing is books they can change a person’s life forever. Even some people risk their lives to save books. Sometimes they can even save you or your families lives. The two novels that have many similarities and differences are fahrenheit 451 and reading books is fundamental.

Mary is very manipulative in that she is able to create the character of the poor, pregnant wife, whose husband has just been murdered. She is able to convince the police to take pity on her, to mix her a drink and then to even eat the evidence, the leg of lamb that she has left in the oven. "Why don’t you eat up that lamb that is in the oven" (Dahl, p. 17). Mary realizes that if the police find the evidence she will go to jail. Her quick thinking and manipulative character results in the police officers eathign the evidence and therefore she cannot be charged of this crime. These actions show the complex character that Mary Maloney truly is.

However, Mildred does not completely free herself of all familial responsibilities as she is still held captive through her obsession with her daughter Veda. As with many housewives, her sense of self-identity is drawn from her role as a mother and she caters to the desires of her daughter to the point that they are almost self-destructive. It is Veda’s extravagant tastes that drive her mother to work hard and draws resources away from her business ultimately resulting in its collapse. Moreover, Mildred must deal with the lack of gratitude and outright contempt that she receives from her own daughter for working in a “blue collar” job.

Ray Bradbury´s wrote a book about this dystopian society where everything in our world is backwards in their world, they can speed, they burn books, and everybody is always gloomy and sad. Montag changed his mindset throughout the book, he went from burning books to saving them from getting burnt. Mildred on the other hand, continuously stayed the same throughout the book. She beginned the book showing she did not care, and carried that same mentality through the rest of the book. Ray Bradbury´s uses contrasting characters in Fahrenheit 451 to illustrate the differences within views of a dystopian society with his development of Montag and Mildred.

Mildred, Montag’s wife is uninterested in finding out about her husband’s life, and has a very short attention span.

Two characters committing major crimes are currently enemies of the state, both on the run for the sake of their life. Mary Maloney from “Lamb to the Slaughter”, by Roald Dahl, and Guy Montag from Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury both show many similarities during this time of crisis. Guy and Mary are similar in the aspects of the both being betrayed by close ones, committing major crimes, but different in the motives for the crime they committed.

Her father then remarried to their neighbor, Ms. Godwin. Mary’s new stepmother continuously favored her own two daughters over Mary. She sent both of her children to get an education, but didn’t see the need to send Mary to school. Being treated unfairly like this caused Mary to experience a lot of loneliness throughout her childhood. Mary was very misunderstood as a child.
