Fahrenheit 451 - Where They Met Pt 2

My other blog on this subject ran over the three hundred and twenty five mark and seeing as I need a whole lot of blogs still I shall make it two. Who knows how the fact that Guy and Mildred both forgot such an important fact could have affected his decision to change his life. In my opinion I think it greatly contributed to his change of heart. It most definitely made him realize that the person he had slept with for years was an almost stranger to him. Some one he thought he knew and loved turning out to be completely different sure can put a spark under your butt. Another really interesting sort of twist to this part of the story is at the very end of the book. While he is with the hobos Guy suddenly remembers where he and Mildred met, Chicago. I thought this was a pretty cool thing for the author to add. It signified that the reason he could not remember where they met was not because it was unimportant, but rather because he had changed as a person and so had Mildred. This sort of ended the story when he remembered. In my opinion it was a great ending to this novel. It really seemed to wrap every thing up as, in my professional opinion, it signified that Guy had gone back to what he really was. Not what everyone else thought he was or should be. Who he was as a person, what kept him at peace within himself. This is at least what I think all of the whole can not remember where they met thing represented, the fact that he was at odds with his own being. Sort of in an everlasting internal conflict with his brain on what and who he should be as a person. His heart knew what was right but his brain wanted what was best for his body and his material life.
