Guy starts to question his own life and happiness. He goes home, only to see his wife, Mildred, overdosed on sleeping pills. Two unfeeling technicians come and vacuum out her stomach slush, and Mildred doesn't remember a thing the next morning. She goes on ignorantly and simply. Guy forms a close friendship with Clarisse, who quickly goes missing. People tell Guy that she was hit by a car, and that her family moved out afterwords.
Montag goes to work as usual. On day, they're called to a house and find a rarity. An old woman is standing at the front of the house, reciting poetry. They burn the books and the woman with them, as she refused to come out. Guy goes home, with a book he had snuck out with out thinking. Captain Beatty pays him a visit, and gives him a lecture on how every fireman goes through something like this. He finishes and tells Montag that if he burns the book within 24 hours, no one will get in trouble. After Beatty leaves, Guy forces his wife to read two of the books, he has hidden, aloud. Her friends call later on, wanting to come over and watch the "parlor walls". Guy gives up on his wife, and goes to work the next day. He brings one of the books to the firehouse, and lets it burn. The alarm rings, and the captain gets the crew together, and heads to Guys house. Guy is told that is was his wife and the neighbors that betrayed him. He sets to burning his own house with a flamethrower.
