This piece of art is called Hope by George Frederic Watts. It is a painting of blindfolded female playing a lyre with only one string and sitting on a globe. This image represents blinded Hope, sadness, and emptiness. This is comparable to me, Guy Montag, and my character in the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. For example on pages 7-9, Clarisse, my neighbor, asks me if I am happy: “ ‘Are you happy?’ she said. ‘Am I what?’ … Of course I’m happy. What does she think? I’m not?… [I] was not happy.” When Clarisse first asked me if I was happy, I didn’t think about the question. I didn’t think about what she actually meant when she asked. I didn’t realize that she was asking about me. The more I thought about the question, the more I realized that I was not happy. In fact, I felt empty and sad, just like the female figure in the artwork above.

The title of this is The Fear by Corneliu Baba. In this painting, one can clearly see the fear in the faces of the figures. In the book Fahrenheit 451, there are many instances where I have fear because I am afraid that I will get caught for having books. At the beginning of part three Burning Bright, I burned down my own house and Captain Beatty told me that it was my wife, Mildred, that had turned in an alarm. “[I] could not move. A great earthquake had come with fire and leveled the house and Mildred was under there somewhere and his entire life under there and he could not move. The earthquake was still shaking and falling and shivering inside [me] and [I] stood there, [my] knees half-bent under the great load of tiredness and bewilderment and outrage, letting Beatty hit [me] without raising a hand” (Bradbury 112). At that moment I realized what I had done. I had burned down my house. My house with all my belongings and my whole life in there, including Mildred’s. Before this, I had planned on planting books in other houses and turning in alarms to burn their houses down, but then I was burning my own house down. I had ruined the whole plan. In the painting above, those figures were scared and in this part of the novel, I was scared of what was going to happen next.
