Fahrenheit 451: Entry 5

--What is the mood of this novel? Do you find this novel saddens you in any way? Why?

The mood of this novel is gloomy and sad. If you see the incidents that happened around Montag, you might know I mean. Mildred commits suicide (but fail), a woman puts fire on herself, Clarisse dies by a car accident, Mildred betrays her husband Montag, Montag kills Captain Beatty to survive, and a whole people dies by nuclear bomb. These incidents make the book gloomy and sad .
I have forgotten that the novel is about dystopia, so these incidents shocked me. All the incidents end up and have negative effects on Montag. The life described in the book is so misery. If I were him, I would not stand with what he has suffered.

I also found the book with gloomy ad sad mood. Yes, there were quite "exciting" events going on in the book. I was devastated when I heard about the woman suiciding. Great job~! ^^
