Fahrenheit 451 Chapter 1 Analysis
“He was not happy. He was not happy. He said the
words to himself. He recognized this as the true state of affairs. He wore his
happiness like a mask and the girl had run off across the lawn with the mask and
there was no way of going to knock on her door and ask for it back”(6).
What simile is Guy making here? Why were Clarisse’s words so powerful?

“the breath coming out the nostrils was so faint it
stirred only the furthest fringes of life, a small leaf, a black feather, a single fiber
of hair”(7).
Montag’s wife has taken a whole bottle of sleeping pills and is barely breathing
when he arrives home. Do you think she intended to kill herself?

“We get these cases nine or ten a night. Got so many, starting a few years ago, we had the special machines built”(8).
The men who respond to Montag’s emergency call to save his wife inform him they
have “nine to ten” drug overdoses a night. What does that say about the general
happiness of society?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

he is comparing his happiness to a mask

her words were so powerful because they helped him realize how unhappy he was with his life, and removed his blindness to the fakeness of society

maybe. she probably knew what she was doing, but she would never give up her 3 wall screens even if she was unhappy

people aren't happy, they are taking medicine to ease the pain and it is killing them.

snakes replaced her blood. she was just fine in the morning, but was very hungry

it is possible that mildred did not know what she was doing when taking all of those sleeping pills, and it would bring up an awkward situation. Plus none of them are really in the moment, so no real talk would happen

about whether he is truly happy or not. and that he doesn't really know much of himself at all.
