How does Mrs. Phelps react?

Mrs. Phelps typically reacts with a mix of confusion and discomfort when faced with emotional or thought-provoking situations. In Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451," her reaction to Montag's questions about books and deeper meanings highlights her reliance on superficial entertainment and her fear of confronting the complexities of life. This reflects the broader societal avoidance of genuine emotions and critical thinking in the dystopian world they inhabit.
