society and its rules.

the reader?
“It was a pleasure to burn.”
What does Montag think about the Mechanical Hound?
It’s out to get him.
What does Montag think about the service men who help
Mildred?
They are strangers who have somewhat violated his wife; they are not professional health care

She is robotic and dull. She is more concerned about the Family
than him, and she can’t remember where they first met.
