In Fahrenheit 451, Montag and Mildred do not get divorced but they do separate from each other. In fact, Mildred leaves Montag because she becomes increasingly frustrated with his desire to read books and to bring an end to the system of censorship.


The real turning point for Montag and Mildred's marriage comes in Part Two when he reads a poem out loud to Mildred and her friends. Not only does Montag really upset Mildred's friends when he does this, but he makes her angry enough to report his activity to Captain Beatty. Shortly after, Mildred packs her things and leaves him without offering any explanation.


Montag and Mildred do not get the opportunity to either fix their marriage or divorce since she is killed in Part Three of the novel when the city is destroyed.
