In Dover Beach, a fireman named Montag yells at a pregnant Mrs. Phelps, who he thinks is reading one of the men’s poems. Eventually, he burns a book and makes the woman cry. The reason behind this commotion is not entirely clear. We do know that firemen are allowed to bring home one book of poetry a year, but why does this make Mrs. Phelps cry?
montag yells at mrs phelps
In “Montag’s Folly,” Montag yells at Mrs. Phelps when she tries to listen to him read a book. The poem is a favorite of Montag’s, and he tries to engage in an intellectual conversation with her but ends up being yelled at by Mrs. Phelps. He even makes the mistake of presenting the book to a TV parlor, but the scene is cut short because Mrs. Phelps tries to take it from him in an embarrassing gesture.
After a few attempts, he finally gets his way. He reads the poet Matthew Arnold’s “Dover Beach” to the women and they start arguing about it. After a few minutes, Mrs. Phelps breaks down in tears, stating that censorship of books is “evil” and stifles free will. Faber then yells at Montag and forces him to put the book into the incinerator. At her prodding, Montag drops the book into the fire, where Mildred follows.
Mildred, meanwhile, is irritated by the fact that Montag has not seen her mother in four days, and that Clarisse has died in a car accident. Mildred, meanwhile, thinks that the woman who burned herself with books is a jealous person who wants her to get rid of Montag. She wants him to stop taking the marriage too seriously and tries to find out what he’s thinking. The result is a harrowing scene that keeps audiences interested and laughing out loud.

Mildred, Montag’s wife, has a problem with poetry. When he reads a poem called “Dover Beach” to her, she cries, believing that books make people sad and even suicidal. She yells at Montag through the transmitter as he reads the poem. Mildred tries to cover up the situation by lying to her friends.
Mildred’s anger grows stronger after she learns that Montag is reading poetry from his poetry book. After reading the poem, Mrs. Phelps begins to cry. Mrs. Bowles becomes angry and yells at Montag, telling him to put the book down so she can’t hear it. Montag’s actions are a result of her anger and disbelief at Mildred’s behavior.
Clara Bowles is getting annoyed with Montag and is complaining about the poetry. She asks him to stop reading the poem, and when he yells at her, she hides his books. But when Montag tries to explain that he’s reading poetry to help her understand her feelings, she yells at him and walks out of the room. Mrs. Bowles is upset by Montag’s behavior, but she tries to reason with her.
he burns books
“Dover Beach” is a poem written by Matthew Arnold. Montag is horrified by the passage, and his wife, Mildred, begins to cry. After the poem ends, Mildred turns Guy in to the fire department, where he is confronted by Captain Beatty. He burns down the house and kills him, but not before reading the poem himself. As Faber watches, Montag takes the book and burns it to cover his tracks. The following night, he rehides the books in the backyard.
Dover Beach is a poem that depicts a society without books. Montag is charged with burning books, so he reads Dover Beach to his wife, Mildred. This poem strikes a similar tone to “Fahrenheit 451”: it speaks to the heart and reveals many deep thoughts. The poem begins with a false sense of contentment that betrays the reader.
As he begins to question the reason society has banned books, he seeks out people who don’t hate them. Montag’s wife, Mildred, is a well-read woman who watches TV in the parlor. She denies that she has tried to commit suicide, and she seems oblivious to the danger her husband poses to her and his family. However, Mildred also acts out of desperation to hide her husband’s secrets from him.
he makes mrs phelps cry
Emily Dickinson, in a novella, describes a young Montag as “nasty.” This characterization is a good one, because it makes it clear that Emily has been brought up to believe that literature and emotion are bad. But as a result, her reaction to Montag’s character’s rage is largely negative. She argues that, even though Montag is a child, she has been socialized to view emotion and literature as bad, so she attacks him, as well as literature in general.
The first line of the novel is “Mr. Phelps wept in tears as he reads Dover Beach.” This satire of the “censorship” movement is one of the most memorable in this regard. Montag’s wife, Mildred, is a depressed woman who tries to kill herself with sleeping pills. She cannot understand Montag’s desire to preserve books, even if it means taking away her freedom of choice. She also invites her friends over to watch television, but these are not a source of individual thought.
As Mildred’s friends arrive to watch television in her parlor, he spends some time with Mrs. Phelps. Mildred, meanwhile, engages Montag in discussion of the book. He attempts to engage them in conversation, but they are uninterested. Montag becomes angry when they discuss the recent presidential election and the third husband who has left them to fight. They also discuss the war, which is raging in Europe.
he ignores the title of a book
In the episode, Montag is arrested for destroying books and begins to read “Dover Beach,” a poem by Matthew Arnold. The poem deals with the emptiness of life, personal relationships replacing faith, and the unthinking violence of war. As Montag reads the poem, he has a Shakespearean moment, referencing Lady Macbeth. The title of the episode is an apt one, since the title is reminiscent of Lady Macbeth.
The title of the play is irrelevant since the film focuses on the events of a small town. The title is misleading, since Montag’s character never mentions the title of the book. The title is not important, but it does affect the plot. During the play, Mildred and her friends come to watch the “parlor walls” and are disgusted when they find out that Montag has ignored the title of the book and is reading a poem. However, Mildred does not know that she has become the subject of Faber’s prank.
Montag ignores the title of the book because of the title, but Beatty is aware of his newfound zeal and urges Montag to drop his humanistic convictions. In the movie, Beatty ignores the title of the book when Montag returns it to him, so that he can convince Montag to admit his guilt. This is a perfect example of how Beatty uses contradictions in the movie to create a powerful metaphor.
he ignores mrs phelps’ family
When Montag visits Mrs. Phelps’ family, he finds them in tears over their empty lives and the tragedy that her husband had committed suicide. He tries to engage them in a conversation, but they show their ignorance and dismiss the idea of a discussion. Then, he reads Dover Beach to them and is met with a hysterical reaction. Mrs. Phelps is so overcome with emotion that she begins to cry.
Montag shows the family the book, but Faber objects to it. Mildred then concocts a lie, telling Montag that firemen are allowed to bring one book home with them each year, which is what the family thinks he’s reading. After that, the family is appalled and Faber orders Montag to leave.
The scene shows how unhappy Montag is and how he tries to change his life, but the book isn’t making him happy. He is desperate to read a book that will make him feel more content and fulfilled, but isn’t getting any results. Then, he receives a visit from Captain Beatty, who is trying to get him to read something meaningful.

While reading “Dover Beach,” a boy named Montag starts to notice Mildred’s presence. He’s not happy about it, but he feels bad for her, and tells her that she should report Montag to the firemen. Later, when he is alone and unable to communicate with the family, he abandons them. He eventually dies in the bombing of the city.
In response, Mrs. Bowles bursts into tears, telling Montag that she and the other women are watching the “parlor walls.” Mrs. Bowles denounces the poem, and calls it “evil poetry.” At the prompting of Faber, Montag drops the book into the incinerator, where he slams the door behind him. Mrs. Bowles leaves, and Mildred heads into her bedroom. Meanwhile, Montag rehides the books in the backyard.
In “Dover Beach,” Montag meets Mildred’s friends, including Mildred’s friends, Mrs. Bowles and Mrs. Phelps. Both are anti-intellectual and hedonistic. They brag about their privileged lives and ignore the problems in their lives. They also are unconcerned with the pending war. It seems like society views personal relationships differently than it does today. And while Mildred is concerned about her husband’s military service, Mrs. Bowles isn’t worried about his children or husband’s career.
