Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury :: Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451

Fahrenheit 451Fahrenheit 451 is a sign of warning to todays society to look upon the problems for a realistic solution. It was about a society that frowned on curiosity and outlawed books. The story was mainly about Guy Montag who burned books for a living. The mood of this story is set with Montag and his wife, Mildreds, mixed relationship. They striket agree on anything and never communicate. They are entirely different from one another because of the influence of society.Montag was having what he thought to be great life, until he met Clarisse McClellan. Clarisse was their seventeen-year-old next door neighbor who was raised to ask why and how. When she met Montag, she changed him by making him think about things he never gave thought to before. Clarisse asked Montag if he was in truth happy about his life, and when he thought about Clarisses question, he realized that he really wasnt happy. Montag brought about that everything in his life was fictional and that he couldnt tru st anyone, so he worked to improve his relationship with his wife. He became interested in books, which made him against the new society. From there on amend his life was what became his first concern. Mildred was an odd woman who was literally brainwashed by society. Mildred had no idea what she would do or why she would do it. She once took so many forty winksing pills that she about died, but in the morning denied everything that happened. She was a pill popping, suicidal snob who was obsessed with material things. Mildred preferred the connection of her parlor-walls and seashell radios than the company of Montag. The TV walls were called parlor-walls and Mildred referred to the people on TV as her parlor-family. She was with them most of the time and had nothing else to do all day. The society in which they live in apply mind-controlling devices to command all the citizens and Mildred was one of them. This had an immense impact on Montag and Mildreds relationship.Montag and Mildred do not have an ideal relationship. Montag felt as if they did not sleep in the same bed, and at times, she seemed uncomfortable in his presence. This was made clear when Montag says they are like a winter island separated by an empty sea, (Page 41.) Montag and Mildred almost never communicate with each other.
