Thus people’s thoughts, their imaginations, their creativity, or their own beliefs everything has replaced by T.V. commercials which mentally control the mass of people, to the extend people did not have their individual thinking. For example, Montag’s wife Mildred swallows a bottle of pills which can kill the person. “Her face was like a snow-covered island upon which rain might fall, but it felt no rain;’(13). Here under the influence of commercials her mind couldn’t think that what is right and what is wrong!

In Montag’s town firemen use their alarm system to get information so they can reach to destroy people’s houses and kill person with their blazing fire hoses. There is no exception for even their colleagues. Montag also loses his house; he also gets an anesthetic injection by Mechanical Hound. And not only that but also he is on run to save his life from his own peers!!!As being a citizen of this bizarre society he cannot possesses or read books and reading books considered an offence and as a fireman its his duty to destroy books.
