When Babbitt was first published in , fans gleefully hailed its scathing portrait of a crass, materialistic nation; critics denounced it as an unfair skewering of the American businessman. Sparking heated literary debate, Babbitt became a controversial classic, securing Sinclair Lewis’s place as one of America’s preeminent social commentators/5(44). The satirical novel, Babbitt (), by Sinclair Lewis, is a critique of the social pressure toward conformity and what Lewis regarded as the emptiness of middle-class life. The setting is the city of Zenith in the Midwest. The book’s first seven chapters describe a day in the life of a realtor, George F. Babbitt, starting with his morning.
Today, of course, Babbitt is an American classic, and the word "Babbitt" is a part of the American vocabulary; the word carries the unsavory connotation of someone who conforms rigidly to the standards of one's social peers, someone who is respectably middle class and has little social conscience and even less imagination. George F. Babbitt is a year-old American real estate salesman living in the Midwestern city of Zenith. He is successful, having a thriving business, a wife and three children, a very nice house and car, and all the modern conveniences.
About Babbitt. The masterpiece of Nobel Prize winner Sinclair Lewis A Penguin Classic George F. Babbitt, a conniving, prosperous real estate man from Zenith, Ohio, revels in his popularity, his success, and, especially, in the material rewards they bring. Dissatisfaction with life Although Babbitt appears to be smug about his material successes, as the novel progresses, the readers glimpse his growing dissatisfaction with his supposed perfect life. This discontentment with the idealized bourgeois existence is the strongest theme of the novel and is the reason that Paul shoots Zilla, and is also why Babbitt rebels against the expectations placed.
