We are here today to discuss a very strange case, a wife turning her back on her husband, but she shouldn't be punished. Although Montag broke the rules, he was her husband and she should have protected him. Mildred thought what she has been doing, was the right thing because she has been going through a rough patch with depression, she didn't know any better and she was protecting herself.
