Babbitt (Annotated)

Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1920s Midwest America, the story delves into the life of George F. Babbitt, an archetypal everyman. Through a poignant and satirical lens, it explores themes of societal expectations, conformity, and the struggle for self-discovery. Sinclair Lewis's narrative skillfully captures the complexities of the human condition, making it a significant work in American literature that resonates with the challenges of individuality in a conformist society.
