In a society where mindless activity suppresses people’s activity of the brain, nothing significant or influential will result in life. The people are not knowledgeable to understand the circumstances they live in. The most damaging effect begins when life becomes insufficient without meaning. Due to the constant enjoyment, life ends up trivial and full of displeasure. Similarly, in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, the society in which books are subjected to be destroyed emphasizes the effects of the control of human thought.
In Fahrenheit 451, we can see that through characters thoughts, dialogue, and reactions in certain situations can reveal a lot about them. For instance, Mildred, Montag’s wife, lives in what is suppose to be a utopian society where everyone is happy and content, but Mildred is very unhappy with her life, as we can see when she attempts suicide. Mildred tries to convince herself that she is happy with her boring life which just consists of watching television all day and she denies the fact that she attempted to commit suicide. When Guy Montag is talking to Mildred about her television obsession he says, “Will you turn the parlour off?” and Mildred responded by saying,"That's my family" revealing the detachment from reality she has.
