I believe that Montag is not in harmony with his society
because the society is depriving him of things that he thinks are important. Montag
wants, more than anything it seems, to have human relationships. But the society does
not encourage such things.
We can see that Montag's life
changes after he meets Clarisse. She shows him that people can and should care about
one another. When Montag then thinks about his relationship with Millie, he sees that
the two of them do not really care about each other. This bothers him, especially when
she almost kills herself.
So Montag is looking for more
meaningful relationships. Society, however, does not want people to care for each
other. It wants them to indulge in mindless and emotionless entertainment. It wants
them to end up like Millie and her friends. Because of this, Montag is not in harmony
with the society.
