Mildred in F451
Mildred is the type of person that wants to live in her own small bubble world and completly be oblivious to anything that would harm her shealterd life. She rather sit at home watching tv then go outside or test any kind of limits. Although her actions may make it seem as if she was born with this dreadfuly boring personalilty, I believe the way the society controls peoples minds and desensitized people was the main cause. As children the people learn to not care about others feeling and to follow the society's rules in order to be happy. Tv strongly influenced their behavior too. Therefor Mildred really didn't have any other choice but to be raised that way. I believe she is lonely because of Montags time consuming job. Her solution to that problem was to make the tv her "family" because it made her happy. The tv put thoughts into her head and made her the way she is. I think because Of montages job he didn't pay enough attention to her so she became lonely. He didn't fall in love with her in the first place while she had this personality so Somthing must have changed her. Mildred also seems very self centered, she doesn't really seem to care montag or anyone but herself. Although Mildred just seems like a selfish ignorant person.. I believe society is what made her that way.

I completely agree about Mildred just being a product of the Fahrenheit 451 society. Solid post Rachel.
