David Mclean - The Psychiatrist
The psychiatrist in the story foreshadows that the kids have a mental disorder. When he goes to see the family, he tells their parents that he would like to see them every day for a month. That part in the story shows the reader that there is something wrong with the children mentally. Therefore, it builds suspense.
The Nursery
The nursery is a example of the future gone wrong with their technology-focused lives. The nursery treats the parents like children, it cleans, cooks, and takes care of the children. The nursery also decides if the children will make it home for dinner. Therefore the parents are replaced by technology. The nursery symbolizes that in the future technology will replace everything.
The lions
The lions are an example of imagery because of how vivid they are in the story. "You feel the prickling fur on your hand, and your mouth was stuffed with the dusty upholstery smell of their heated pelts."
figurative language (simile)
"The hot straw smell of lion grass, the cool green smell of the hidden water hole, the great rusty smell, the smell of dust like a red paprika in the hot air."
Bradbury uses a variety of figurative language to establish the setting of the story. For example, "the smell of dust like a res paprika in the hot air." This simile makes the nursery sound very vivid.
Mood
The mood in "The Veldt" is dreadful, knowing that something bad will happen. Given the parents worries about their children and the effect the house is having on them. Bradbury's purpose is to alert people to the dangers of letting technology control their lives.
