"Babbitt" is a satirical novel written by Sinclair Lewis and first published in 1922. This novel is a scathing critique of American middle-class conformity and materialism in the early 20th century.
The story revolves around the central character, George F. Babbitt, a successful real estate agent living in the fictional Midwestern city of Zenith. Babbitt epitomizes the typical American businessman of his time, conforming to societal expectations, pursuing financial success, and adhering to conventional values. However, as the novel progresses, Babbitt's discontent with his life and the conformity of his peers becomes evident.
Sinclair Lewis uses Babbitt's journey as a lens to explore the tensions between individuality and conformity, as well as the hollow pursuit of the American Dream. Through Babbitt's experiences, the novel satirizes the shallow materialism and the relentless pursuit of social status prevalent in American society.
"Babbitt" remains a significant work in American literature, offering a sharp critique of the values and aspirations of the middle class in the early 20th century while raising questions about the authenticity of the American Dream.
