"He was eating a light supper at nine in the evening when the front door cried out in the hall and Mildred ran from the parlor like a native fleeing an eruption of Vesuvius. Mrs. Bowles came through the front door and vanished into the volcano's mouth with martinis in their hands. Montag stopped eating. They were like monstrous crystal chandelier tinkling in a thousand chimes, he saw their Cheshire Cat smiles burning through the walls of the house and now they were screaming at each other above the din." Page 93 Fahrenheit 451
In the passage above guy is definitely looking at the women like they were mad. Mildred and her friends were running into a death trap, the volcano symbolizes the propaganda the government was using against them. With this being a regular treat they could fool anyone who lived in America to be pulled into this trap.
The description of these woman is almost like an irony. They were giggling and anticipating to run and watch their favorite government controlled show. It was almost like they were being controlled, because if you have seen Alice in Wonderland the Cheshire Cat has an inhumanly smile, and in my own opinion, it is very creepy. Now by adding another fire reference with burning that almost makes it like they are smiling like the devil.
