ses a day exactly like hers. Linda even chose to turn her husband in for reading so she could please the family. The government controlled her emotions so much that she did not even have real love left for her husband. She would rather be in the whole, that support the individual she was supposed to love forever. Living on pills to be happy and having the TV think for me does not sound like a good life to me. Montag was the one that broke out of the system in Fahrenheit 451. In the beginning of the movie, he was one of the mindless firemen that went around burning books and arresting people who read. However, when he started reading he realized all of the emotions that he had been missing out on and how emotionally-numbed the rest of the world was. He wanted his wife to understand, so he read to her and her friends. She had been brainwashed not to want anything to do with books, and that just made her more upset. He did not want to be a fireman anymore, but he wanted to read all the time, just to learn and feel more. However, he could not do that where he lived. Montag had to run away and live with the people like him, the few others that broke away from the system. When the world tries to control the inhabitants emotions, it is bad, because then the people are not really living their own lives. The people depicted in these movies did not know the meaning of life. They only knew how to act the way the were supposed to, except for the few cases that managed to escape the system. Having memories implanted in you and taking pills to be happy both seem to cheat a person from their life equally. I think that Roy and Priss and Montag were happy to be able to escape the system and have their own emotions, even if they had to lose their normal lives. Personally, I believe that a life where your emotions are controlled would be boring and not worth living....
