Montag is not accustomed to discussing personal subjects with others. Due to this, his conversation with Clarisse disturbs him. He realizes that he is not happy. Guy walks into his room to find his wife, Mildred, laying in her bed listening to earbuds. He knocks over an empty bottle of sleeping pills. Following this, he immediately calls the hospital. Immediately, a crew shows up and pumps her stomach and replaces her poisoned blood with fresh blood. Montag takes a sleeping pill and dozes off. The next day, Mildred does not remember her attempted suicide. When Montag leaves for work, he finds Clarisse outside in the rain, catching raindrops on her tongue. He tells her to hurry to her psychiatrist appointment. Before departing, Montag catches a few drops on his tongue.
The new world, although very uninterested in nature, has many references to animals, as in the machines named Snake and Hound. The only part of nature that people are interested in is fire, which is used primarily for entertainment. Mildred suffers from a hidden sadness that causes her to commit suicide and not recount it. In the book, blood is used as a symbol to represent a human's repressed soul or primal instinct. Many examples of foreshadowing exist throughout the book, although they are very vague and do not give many hints as to the future events.
