faust18 [17]

Answer:

Montag's wife whom he courted in Chicago and married when they both were twenty, Mildred characterizes shallowness and mediocrity. Her abnormally white flesh and chemically burnt hair epitomize a society that demands an artificial beauty in women through diets and hair dye. Completely immersed in an electronic world and growing more incompatible with Montag with every electronic gadget that enters her house, she fills her waking hours with manic drives in the beetle and by watching a TV clown, who distracts her from her real feelings and leads her nearly to death from an overdose. Unwilling and unable to analyze rationally, she lives the shallow life that Beatty touts — acquiescence to a technological chamber of horrors. She distances herself from real emotion by identifying with "the family," a three-dimensional fiction in which she plays a scripted part. Her longing for a fourth wall of television suggests her capability of submerging in fantasy to withdraw from the roles of wife, mother, and whole human being.

Addicted to the labor-saving machines that toast and butter her bread and fill her mind with simplistic entertainment, she forgets to bring aspirin to her ailing husband and recedes into communication. Her replies to him are impersonal and callous, as illustrated by her bland announcement of Clarisse's death. To remove any doubts about her materialistic, robotic lifestyle, Mildred surrounds herself with friends like Clara Phelps and Ann Bowles, vapid and witless dullards who select a presidential candidate by his televised good looks. Unsurprisingly, Mildred betrays her husband and flees their marriage while mourning the loss of her TV family. Her white-powdered face, her colorless lips, and her stiff body foreshadow the corpse she soon becomes. The oppression and militarism that she so willingly accepts expectedly turns on her and exterminates her in a single apocalyptic blast.

Citing evidence from the story, briefly explain how the narrator feels about the old man and why he decides to murder him. What
Elena L [17]

The narrator decides to murder the old man because he is crazy. I can tell this because he does not like the old man's eye. He calls it a vultures eye even though it is just a normal eye that has gone blind. Also, many times he tries to prove himself that he is not crazy. He even starts the first sentence of his story by asking the readers that why would we think that he has gone mad. It states in the first sentence, "TRUE!—NERVOUS—VERY, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?" Furthermore, he says for himself that he wanted nothing from his gold or anything like that, he just did not like his eye. In the text it states, "He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this!" Later, he thinks he can hear the old man's heart, and since he thinks that others can hear it too. Therefore, he kills the old man to protect himself from being discovered. This can be seen in the passage, "But the beating grew louder, louder! I thought the heart must burst. And now a new anxiety seized me—the sound would be heard by a neighbour!" From the textual evidence we can certainly infer that the narrator has gone extremely mad.
