45. Montag finally blows up at the women and on page 101 he tells them to go home and think. What he is really attacking is apathy. Define the word and explain what he is so upset about. Do we have apathetic people in our world? How do you feel about apathy?

Answer: Apathy is the absence of emotion, passion, or excitement, in other words you lack emotion. He is upset that so many bad things have happened to the ladies like they have lost their husbands and their kids hate them and yet they do not care and do nothing about it; their apathy disturbs him. We do have apathetic people in our world. I feel that apathy kills the love and peace that we need in this world. I feel that it kills communication and causes society to fall apart because if no one cares then people would do what they want plus suicide rates would go up.
