Mirrors are first introduced in the first part of the novel where Clarisse is described as a mirror by Montag. Also introduced by Granger towards the end of the novel, the mirror is a symbol of the lack of introspection but also of healing. Mirrors reflect a perfect image of a person – an image that is neither tarnished nor embellished. The mirrors here are a symbol of vision into the soul seeking rebirth and are a tool to use in the search for what has gone terribly wrong in such an empty society. In a society that lives without living, thinking or feeling like Montag looking in a mirror can spark a thought, and a thought can trigger this internal rebellion. Additionally, metaphorical mirrors are equally important in understanding this symbol. Clarisse is Montag's inner mirror; it reflects Montag's personality and life back to him, allowing him to learn and question what he sees. Montag is also Faber's mirror – he reflects Faber's recent emptiness and his cowardice in not attempting to free society from its suffering. Mirrors are a great symbol of self-realization that leads to rebirth in the novel Fahrenheit
