Early in the story, what evidence are we given that the Happylife Home system has not made either of the adults particularly happy? What message might Bradbury be trying to deliver here?

Answer and Explanation:

This question is about "The Veldt".

Through this story Bradbury wants to show readers the danger that exists in becoming too dependent on technology and how it can destroy the family unit, provoke addictions and promote destruction. In other words, he wants to convey the message that technology should be admired in moderation, without destroying our humanity, independence and the interpersonal relationships we have.

Through this message, he shows how adults are not satisfied with Lar Happylife. This is because the mother of the family is bothered by the fact that the house has replaced the role of mother and wife of her, while the father of the family, is bothered by the way that the children are relating to the house.
