In Fahrenheit 451 Mildred and Clarisse aren't the main characters but they do affect his choices in the novel. They both are females in Montags life that he comes to like one as a lover and the other as a friend. they both make Montag think about his life and the choices he has to make. Even though they both influence him they do it in two veery different ways.
Mildred is his wife but she does eventually push him away. She does this by wanting to fit in and turninghim into the Salamanders for having books. What made her do it was she would rather fit in than go to jail for what her husband did. To her having nice things and friends was much more than her husband. Watching TV and ignoring here husband and what he had to say pushed him away as well. Her problem was she tried to be social by not being social like she was taught to do. so Mildred Showed Montag that the life they were livin was just material.
But when he was with Clarisse he found out how to actually be social . She made him tap into his intellect and have a conversasion with her. By being out going and herself helped to him experiment with reading and more into nature and life. Unlike Mildred she didn't care about what others thought of her and stopped took take a look at the flowers. Instead of watching TV she read and studied nature.
Both these women affected Montag in away that chaged his lfe. Mildred showed him a life of boredom and mediocrisie. Clarisse showed him that he be his own person and dorve him to his sanity.
