He talks to Mildred about this, however, she doesn’t feel hurt and all she does is laugh it off with her friends later. Meanwhile, Montag is concerned about potentially going to war. Throughout the book, Mildred, his wife, is often consumed in TV shows which leads her to becoming too attached to her screen, and forgetting about reality. However, as time goes on, he starts becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the society he lives in. In the book Fahrenheit 451, Montag is an intelligent, caring, and overall good person. For example, he noticed that individuals were starting to want more of what seemed meaningless to Bradbury. As he would look around his town, he would see many changes and was starting to become concerned. He wrote this book because of what he observed in society. Ray Bradbury’s goal was to show the way technology negatively affects people by taking up too much of their time and leaving them with no sense of real feelings. Technology can destroy us, as shown in Fahrenheit 451. The book focuses on how sometimes people get carried away with their TVs or phones for entertainment, not focusing on the real world, not realizing it until they’ve lost something that they can never get back. We need to remember not to zone out for too long because then, how will we truly enjoy life? We can’t let it all fly away, or we will miss out. This can be a good message to us today because sometimes we get caught up on social media or entertainment. In the book Fahrenheit 451, the author Ray Bradbury features how people often trade a meaningful literary experience for the entertainment of inanimate objects which often leave them feeling empty. Imagine everyone was so caught up staring at unimportant entertainment that we all forgot how to truly live life and socialize with each other. Imagine you live somewhere where no one ever looked up from their phones.
