Long Answer
1. He means that the society will not learn if people do not reflect on the problems they have created. People need to learn from their history before they can pursue new knowledge. This is similar to Montag telling Millie that maybe books will help them stop making the same mistakes (70), or Faber explaining to Montag that books force people to face reality (79).
2. He wants Mildred to realize that the “family” on the television isn’t real. The White Clown might be entertaining, but that is no substitute for a real connection. Mildred’s actions show that entertainment is so important to her that she will give up her own husband to save it.
3. Faber feels guilty because he didn’t speak out when the book banning and censorship first began (78). This shows that for authoritarian governments to actually impose censorship or other forms of tyranny, the majority needs to be quiet and not stand up when others are persecuted.
