He wore his happiness like a mask and the girl had channelise across the lawn with the mask and there was no way of difference to thump on her door and ask for it. Once Clarisse asked him about his happiness he started thinking about it and he knew he wasnt happy at all. He thinks that Clarisse opened his eyes about it. Montag also feels like Clarisse was the one who took his happiness by asking him that question. Mildred proved to Montag he wasnt really by the way she acts towards him. She was the one who woke him up and made him do something so he could have his happiness back. Mildred as a wife should get a line to Montag and make him feel bet ter. Instead Mildred would totally ignore him and seem offhand every time he would say something. Im hungry(p) Last night he began. Didnt sleep well.Feel stern she said. God Im hungry I cant figure it Last night he said again. She watched his lips casually. What about lastly night Dont you remember.

When did we meet? Where? It doesnt matter. She was up, in the bathroom now, and he heard the water running, and the swallowing strong she made. No, I guess not, he said. This demonstrates that all this years of marriage meant nobody to Mildred. By her not remembering how they meet tells that Mildred doesnt really care about their marriage.

For a little while Im not afraid. peradventure its because Im doing the right thing at last. maybe because Ive done trash thing and dont want to look the coward to you. Faber has never made a change in his life because he has always been afraid of the consequences. He tells Montag that he has to face his fears which make him feel like hes doing the right thing for once. Mr. Montag youre looking at a coward. I saw the way things were going a long time back. I said nothing. Im one of the innocents who could have spoken up and put when no one would listen to the guilty Faber is telling Montag that he never had the courage to hold water up in what he strongly believes its right. He categories himself as a person whos afraid by the consequences.In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Clarisse, Mildred and Faber had Montag doing things he never did be fore. They had him questioning, making him realize and encouraging him to get over his fears. He was doing things he never saw himself doing before in his life.
