Sinossi

Main Street by Sinclair Lewis is a satirical portrayal of small-town America, focusing on Carol Kennicott, an ambitious young woman who moves to the fictional town of Gopher Prairie with her husband, Dr. Will Kennicott. Dreaming of cultural reform and progress, Carol quickly becomes disillusioned by the town’s resistance to change, its narrow-mindedness, and its suffocating conformity. Her efforts to bring art, literature, and modern ideas to the community are met with scorn and apathy. Through Carol’s struggles, Lewis critiques the monotony and conservatism of rural life while exploring themes of individuality, idealism, and the tension between tradition and innovation. Though Carol eventually leaves Gopher Prairie, she returns, realizing that true change requires persistence and patience. A poignant blend of humor and social commentary, Main Street challenges readers to reflect on the complexities of human ambition and societal norms, offering a timeless examination of the clash between personal dreams and communal expectations.
