Montag thought to himself‚ “And suddenly [Mildred] was so strange he couldn’t believe he knew her at all” (Bradbury 46). Later‚ after Mildred put the alarm to the firemen about Montag and his books‚ she did not care about her husband. Mildred’s final words were‚ “Poor family‚ poor family‚ oh everything gone‚ everything‚ everything gone now…”
