Why Is Montag Unhappy

----In the beginning of the book Montag tells Clarisse that he is happy. But, when he gets home he realizes, as he is satnding in the dark, that he really isn't happy. He compares his happiness to the darkness in the room and says that he only wears his happiness as a mask. " He wore his happines like a mask and the girl had run off across the lawn with the mask and there was no way of going to knock on her door and ask for it back." I think in this quote the author is trying to say that Montag appears to be happy, that he puts on a happy face but inside he really isn't happy. Just like how he doesn't know what firemen used to do or why he burns the books I don't think he really understands what happiness is either. Especially with his relationship with his wife. It doesn't seem like they love each other but that they are married to each other just because they are almost like it was an arranged marriage or just like they were told to marry each other just like Montag is just told to burn books without reason. In addition, I don't really think he is happy. He goes to work to do something that he is told to do yet he doesn't know why he does it. Then he comes home to what seems like a wife that doesn't really care what is going on.
