Description

Babbitt, a novel by Sinclair Lewis published in 1922, is a sharp critique of American society and conformity in the 1920s. The story follows George F. Babbitt, a successful real estate broker living in the fictional city of Zenith. Babbitt embodies the idealized middle-class American, consumed by societal expectations, materialism, and a quest for status. Through his journey, Lewis explores themes of individuality, the emptiness of consumer culture, and the struggles of personal identity amidst societal pressures.As Babbitt grapples with his increasing dissatisfaction and desire for meaning, readers witness his brief moments of rebellion against the monotony of suburban life. Lewis' keen observations and satirical prose illuminate the contradictions of the American Dream, making Babbitt both timeless and relatable. Ultimately, the novel serves as a profound commentary on the superficiality of a society that prioritizes success over authenticity, challenging readers to consider the cost of conformity.
