Summarize:We find out Beatty is more knowledgeable than previously mentioned. Montag realizes both himself and his wife dont know each other at all like they are strangers. When Montag talks with Mildred he finds out she believes that Clarisse died by being run over by a car. Montag is sick the next morning and Mildred barely even cares.
Discuss: These pages are all about how the relationship between Montag and Mildred is not there. She tells him nothing and is a useless waste of space. Her only redeeming quality is making Montag question everything. Perhaps this is a representation or description of the whole society, no love, or warmth.
Literary Elements:
Symbol - When Montag describes Mildred as a praying mantis, as the females est their mates, just as Mildred is destroying both of them.
Irony - Situational? How both Mildred and Montag refer to Mildreds parlor character people as family and rejoices when "speaking with them, but can't spare Montag, a real live family member, the time of day.
Foreshadow - When we find out that Beatty knows more than was expected
Characters:
Black - Smokes a lot
Stoneman - Distracted easily/listens, drives the truck
