If You Really Knew Me

In the book Fahrenheit 451, I (Professor Faber) am described as a coward, old, and smart. Some textual evidence of this is " Mr. Montag, you are looking at a coward. I saw the way things were going, a long time back. I said nothing. I'm one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the 'guilty,' but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself."This quote explains that I could have gotten up and protested but I stayed and hid in my home instead. One quote that shows how smart I really am is. "There is nothing magical in them at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us." In this quote the literary device is personification, reason why is because it is giving books human qualities. A major theme that comes from my character is: Books are a way of life they guide us, entertain us, and teach us. Taking them away only brings pain and disaster.
