Formula:
S) Mildred is a happy person.
T) However, Mildred overdoses on drugs one night.
Q) Why does Mildred overdose on drugs if she is a happy person?
C) Mildred is not actually happy, and she needs books to complete her as a person and make her happy.
Fleshed Out Claim:
In the world of Fahrenheit 451, Mildred seems to be a perfectly normal (by Fahrenheit 451 standards) and happy person. Then one day coming home from work, Montag finds her on the brink of death after a sleeping pill overdose, her eyes described as "Two pale moonstones ... over which the life of the world ran, not touching them." Mildred is also described later as having a deep, hidden "cataract." This obscures her vision, not her literal eyes, but what she can think, because she does not have books and only has meaningless shows on her wall. Not being able to see fully leaves a hole in her that makes her unhappy.
