Ray Bradbury conveys and explains the internal conflict of Guy Montag is several different ways. Bradbury uses a great deal of figurative language to portray Montag’s inner conflict to the readers. Bradbury also uses many examples of imagery to demonstrate Montag’s conflict. Bradbury’s figurative language throughout the passage helped show the readers what Montag is thinking and feeling. At the beginning of the passage Bradbury uses personification with the ventilator grille by saying, “He stood looking up at the ventilator grille in the hall and suddenly remembered that something lay hidden behind the grille, something that seemed to peer down at him now’, this shows that Montag feels guilty about having the books hidden away behind the grill.

He was very embarrassed by my conduct and he seen annoyed. He began to get very irritated and he ultimately asked me “is this your floor”. I just persistently keep staring at him diligently without uttering a sound. As soon as the elevator came to a stop on the next floor he said, “Excuse me, this is me.” I knew that was not his floor because he pressed the 11th floor when he first got in, and we were on the 8th. I had made him so uncomfortable that he had to leave before making it to his floor.
The extract from Great Expectations is a scene where the character Pip is giving his perspective of the other character, Jaggers, who is a lawyer, and his office and Pip very much sees Jaggers room as synonymous to Jaggers character.

His impression of Jaggers room is not a positive one and as Pip searches through the room, it develops and this little world is built up, all through Pip’s eyes. Pip is the protagonist; everything is through his eyes, so everything gets his opinion.
