finds the sameness and conformity of “Main Street” and its people insufferable, stifling and “too small to absorb her", whereas Babbitt is the exact representation of the type of person she is fighting against, who as “a Republican, a Presbyterian, an Elk, [and] a real-estate broker” was the ultimate sustainer of this socially forced and unquestioned loyalty to conformity and uniformity. (Main Street, 53), (Babbitt, 37) These aspects of his novels parallel Lewis’ worldview in which Gopher…
