What a Wonderful Wife

I seemed to have been mistaken in one of my blogs. While I had thought Mildred found out about the books previously, I guess being the dumb, selfish wife she is, she had not even realized what Montag was shoving under his pillow. She actually found out about the books by finding it a few days later, while he was talking to the fire captain. She is so dumb. She reminds me of a combination of Dori from Finding Nemo and one of the sisters from Cinderella. She is stupid and in her own little world like Dori. However, Dori is cute and lovable because of her vulnerability. Mildred is just sickening. The sisters from Cinderella were hateful and thought only of themselves, which caused troubles for other people. That sounds just like Mildred, except Mildred is not necessarily hateful, just stupid.

Mildred just continued to infuriate me. After Beatty left, Montag went to go talk to her. He informed her of the fact that he was not happy and did not enjoy living. Instead of trying to comfort or console her husband, Mildred just beamed and exclaimed how happy she was. I wanted to slap her in the face. When somebody tells you that they are not happy with their life, you should go out of your way to try and make their life happy. You do not, absolutely do not rub it in their face how much you love your own life. Do you think that makes them happier? No! It would just make them feel worse. Mildred then proceeded to call Montag's ideas "junk." She is quite the quality wife.

When Montag finally shows her all his books, she starts shrieking and crying as if her life is over. For some reason, all this nonsense has been seeming to make Montag actually start to love his wife. I do not understand the logic behind that at all. Montag, in order to soothe his crazy wife, told her that they would burn all the books together and never have to worry about them ever again. This is ridiculous. He has been risking his life for quite some time now, but just because Mildred is psycho he is willing to pretend it never happened. I sure hope I am as good of a wife as her someday.
