Why does Mildred need help when Montag gets home in the Fahrenheit 451?

Answer 1

Because he's trying so hard to reach out for her, he knows that the 3 TVS parlor in his living room and seashells in her ears are standing between them like a wall, he knows he's unhappy and even perhaps out of love and he's trying to figure out answers to all these unrequited worries and questions and doubts... he asks her where they first met and she says she doesn't remember and that it doesn't matter. At the end of the book, Montag remembers that the 2 met at Chicago 10 years earlier. Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

she tries to commit suicide by overdosing on her sleeping pills ________ Actually, in the book it is never made clear if Mildred TRIED to overdose or not, it's just told she did. What probably happened is she was so braindead(like the rest of society) that she took her pills, forgot, took them egain, forgot again, etc. Another possible explanation is that a part of Mildred that was hidden inside of her broke free and made her overdose. It is realy left to the reader's imagination (or English teacher, if you're willing to pay attention)

Answer 3

It's not important to him so much that HE remembers it, but that SHE remembers it. He wants to know that she really cares enough to remember where they met, and all the romantic things that a woman normally remembers (with some exceptions -- not all women decide to remember it).

Answer 4

Mildred needs help because she has attempted suicide by taking an overdose of sleeping pills. Montag finds her unconscious and unresponsive, prompting him to call for medical assistance.

Answer 5

they met in chicago.
