About This Novel
"Main Street" is the representative work of Nobel Prize winner Sinclair Lewis. The novel is set in a small town in the United States before and after World War I. It describes Carol, an urban female intellectual, who marries into a small town and becomes the wife of a country doctor. At first she was full of enthusiasm and tried to "transform" this small town bound by traditional conservative forces, but she encountered huge resistance. Her thoughts were so incompatible with the reality of the town that she was forced to leave the town and go to Washington to find a job, but in the end she had to return to the town and continue to face the old traditional forces that she could not change. This book is highly satirical and provides an in-depth discussion of social issues in the United States.
