In the story fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury shows many characters atttitude and contributionn to the story.One character that really stands out and makes me dislike hime or her more than any character in this story is mildred.Mildred is the wife of the main character Montag. She wakes up watching clowns in the t.v. that cause her to separates from her real life. This is not the only reason I dislike her, the other reason is that she treats his husband as if he were not real she rarely talks to him even if she is feeling bad she won't tell him. The way she makes herself happy is not with him it's with her lovely technology every day.She is a horrible person since she makes herself fall asleep pills which shows that she doesn’t care if
