The meaning of tragedy is something horrifying happens. Everybody goes through difficult times in life. The book Fahreinheit 451, people never realized what was going on. They weren't allowed to have books and if they had any the firefighters would burn their homes.
Montag was a fireman. He was curious upon why they weren't allowed to have books. Supposably the government wanted everybody happy but he didn't want his citizens to read. It caused a lot of tragedy to Montag because once they found out he had books, they began looking for him. He was all over the news.
His wife Mildred was crazy. She would try to commit suicide by swallowing many pills. By the next day, She acted like nothing had happened. Not remembering she was hurting herself is tragedy because maybe Mildred could have died. Montag later on would ask himself if he was happy. In reality was wasn't.
The government said he wanted everybody satisfied and unstressed. But what about books? If that's what made people happy, why couldn't he just let them keep it. Montag wanted books and because he wasn't allowed to, he went through tragedy in order to get what he wanted and that was to read books to find the TRUTH.
