Mildred, Mrs. Phelps, and Mrs. Bowles are products of the society in which they live. Unlike Montag, they have never experienced real emotions or feelings. Mildred's emotionless personality is evident in her relationship with her husband, and the reader can assume that Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles are the same way. When Montag reads the poem "Dover Beach" to the women, they are introduced to words and feelings that they have never felt before; therefore, they cry because they (if only for a few seconds) begin to feel something when the words are read to them.
