Lennie Small is a character that readers are drawn to right from the beginning of the book. His innocence stands out from the grimey coverings of loneliness and hopelessness that the other characters wear. The reason Lennie is so innocent is because he has a mental handicap, one that prevents him from understanding complex human emotions such as guilt, or concepts such as death. In addition Lennie has trouble remembering things, “" I tried and tried [to remember]...but it didn't do not good." Consequently, Lennie has trouble fitting in with society. Ultimately his mental disability is what leads to Lennie's demise at the end of the book. Another trait that is an essential part of Lennie's innocent character is his devotion to his closest friend George. In fact, the only times Lennie is shown to be angry is when George is insulted or threatened. When Crooks, the crippled, black, stable hand, implies bad things about George, this devotion is clearly shown. “Suddenly Lennie's eyes centered and grew quiet, and mad. He walked dangerously toward Crooks. 'Who hurt George?' he demanded" When it comes to George, Lennie would deviate from the normal passive motives of his persona. More support can be found when George is the only one who can convince Lennie to “get him[Curly]” when Curly attacks him, as well as being the only one to stop him. Perhaps the most prominent support for Lennie's childlike innocence is in his utter belief of George and his dream. No matter how

In Fahrenheit 451, Clarisse McClellan, is a seventeen year old girl who lives next door to Guy Montag. Clarisse met Montag when she was walking down the street, she looked at him surprised. Clarisse's appearance is mentioned as curious, because she is called as white. “..Her face was slender and milk-white, and in it was a kind of gentle hunger that touched over everything with tireless curiosity..”, “Her dress was white and it whispered”. (Bradbury 02) By comparing from the book, Clarisse can be someone who won’t “fit in” the book. She is more than a seventeen year old girl, she is filled with ideas and questions. Her character is different from everyone in the book, she was more positive and uplifting.

Clarisse McClellan is a very unusual teenager in her society. She was an outcast, and looked different to the people around her. She was an idiosyncratic thinker, and quite unlike all of her fellow peers, who go along with whatever people told them to do. For Clarisse, on the other hand, being her own self was such a major part of her personality. This uniqueness affected the main character, Montag, greatly. She introduced him to thinking differently. From the very beginning, Clarisse talks to Montag about things that force him to stop and think. During their first initial conversation, on page 8, Clarisse says "You laugh when I haven't been funny and you answer right off. You never stop to think what I've asked you." Here, Clarisse goes from a very light conversation, and switches to a very deep and meaningful phrase. Most people in their society can't do that. This forces Montag to take a moment to analyze what she said, and makes him speculate the meaning of her words. Montag is speechless, because it was such an unusual question. This makes him do something that he's never done before, which is think for himself. Throughout their very first conversation, Clarisse makes it clear that she's an independent thinker.

Lennie is a dim witted person who can't really control himself and likes to plan ahead and pet animals. Lennie fantasies and acts out what it would be like if they had a farm with different colored rabbits.

Malvolio is a minor character in twelfth night as he plays the role of Olivia’s head servant and steward. His humiliation makes his role in the play quite amusing with the Olivia, Viola (Cesario), and Orsino love triangle, which as the play goes on, becomes more and more amusing and after a while, you cannot help but feel bad for the poor person. His arrogant and selfish personality makes him an amenity of sir toby, Sir Andrew and Maria who play a cruel trick on him, making him believe Olivia is in love with him. He has a poor opinion of drinking, adding humor to this 1500’s comedy.

Portia: Portia, being one of the main characters and the romantic heroine of the play, must be presented to the audience as a graceful, beautiful and intelligent person. We all know she’s beautiful, that needs no convincing. Portia is usually a fairly self-controlled person who likes to keep problems between her and her trustworthy lady-in-waiting, Nerissa. However there are certain times when she lets slip that she is an anxious person for example when Bassanio arrives at her mansion and is about to choose a casket. She has fallen in love with him and is having great difficulty in trying to conceal that fact. Her anxiety and confusion is what makes her lose her composure. Portia’s other appealing characteristic- probably one of the most apparent- is her graciousness, her amazing way of handling a situation with tact and
