NOTES

Babbitt is a satirical novel about American culture and society that critiques the vacuity of middle-class life and the social pressure toward conformity. The word "Babbitt" entered the English language as a "person and especially a business or professional man, who conforms unthinkingly to prevailing middle-class standards". Lewis has been both criticized and congratulated for his unorthodox writing style in Babbitt
