4. Compare and contrast what you think Mildred’s Clarisse’s, and Faber’s definitions of happiness would be.

Mildred would like nothing better than to sit in the parlous watching mind numbing spirit crushing television shows. Mildred would believe she is happy in her superficial vacuous life. I don't think she would actually be happy: she would just accept the status quo as her life.
