However, at the end of the novel when an adult actually appears, he is very clueless and ignorant of what is happening even when told about the death and killings.

This shows how ignorant he is and how he doesn’t understand the severity of this situation.

With the help from Granger, Montag now realized that because Mildred hardly ever did anything, he did not miss her.

However, his supreme ordeal is defeating the enemy, which he successfully accomplishes at the end, as shown by the close up shot the group of

In "Through the Tunnel," by Doris Lessing, the author uses settings and complex characters to establish that discovering one's own identity can be a truly harsh experience. In the case of the protagonist Jerry, he wants acceptance from his peers and to be in control of his life, but his harsh reality is that he still wants to stay with his mother because she is all he has.
