__Mildred "Millie" Montag__
What we think about Mildred "Millie" Montag:

Mildred Montag is the classic example of an ordinary citizen living in the post **apocalyptic and hedonistic** society of Fahrenheit 451. **Obsessed and consumed** by the many technological wonders of the age, she leads a totally meaningless life and does not have any other purpose, other than that of irritating Montag and forgetting to bring him medicine when he needs it. All Mildred does is submerge herself in fantasy to withdraw from the role of a human being and ironically, wife. Therefore, **she does not fit the bill of a "wife"**, and later on also a traitor as she reports Montag's crime of keeping a secret stash of books. Mildred characterises **shallowness and mediocrity** and epitomizes an artificial and dystopian society.

With this new form of organising Point.Evidence.Elaboration data, graphs are now obsolete. This hybrid comes with text boxes and colour coding. What Synergy.



I shall still leave the following traits of the characters untouched because i think we can always add on whether or not it is later in our analysis of the story or other group member's own points, views and ideas. However for the effects Mildred has on Montag graph hybrid just above, I do not think much can be added on so its better in the picture. Lets have some diversity on the page.

__**CHARACTER ANALYSIS OF MILDRED** **- Traits Of Mildred Montag**__


 * Point:** //Mildred is in self-denial//
 * Evidence:** "Oh,I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do a thing like that. Why should I do a thing like that?"
 * Elaboration:** When Montag confronts Mildred about her suicide attempt, she does not let him speak but instead, she continues dismissing him. Mildred seems to have skeletons in the closet. However, she chooses to be self-contained and does not share her problems.She seems to mask her pain with her technology and her 'family' on her TV wall screen. Due to the fact that she does want to come to terms with her problems, she attempts suicide.


 * Point:** //Mildred does not value her life.//
 * Evidence:** "The small crystal bottle of sleeping tablets which **earlier today had been filled with thirty tablets and which now lay uncapped and empty** in the light of the tiny flare"
 * Elaboration:** Mildred Montag is a very careless woman. One example of Mildred's carelessness is her over-dosage on sleeping pills. She is also irresponsible and ignorant to deny what Montag was trying to explain to her. She doesn't really care about anything else other than her television, her Seashell radio and the scripts of shows.
