The technology made them so miserable that Mildred even tries to commit suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills. When Montag tries to confront her about it, she tries to deny him and attempts to convince Montag and herself that everything was okay. “‘Oh I wouldn’t do that.’ … ‘I wouldn’t do a thing like that. Why would I do a thing like that?’ she said… ‘What would I want I want to go and do a silly thing like that for?’” (Mildred, pg 17). In Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury supports his depressed, weak society by letting it go into war. After Montag was welcomed by Granger and his gang, they see bomb jets fly over them and land in the city leaving in shambles. Bradbury intentionally let all of the technology-crazy people in the city to die. “But Clarisse, he remembered, was dead. And Faber was out, there in the deep valleys of the country somewhere the five a.m. bus was on its way from one desolation to another… And Mildred… He saw her in her leaning toward the great shimmering walls of color…” (F451, pg 152). This is a message by Bradbury telling us that a weak society like that will have no doubt fall apart to dust, like the one in Fahrenheit 451
