Clarisse isn't crazy in Fahrenheit
451. She just seems like it to the people in the novel, so that's how they
label her.
She pays attention to nature, takes walks for
fun, likes to talk and have conversations, isn't afraid to talk about love and other
feelings, and belongs to a family that sits in their backyard and
talks.
Members of her society, on the other hand, sit for
hours in front of mindless television (hmm, sounds familiar), don't have real
conversations, don't consider nature, don't walk for pleasure, and don't think for
themselves.
Clarisse is unusual for her society. Thus,
they label her crazy.
