How to use "Babbitt" in context?
In "babbitt," Sinclair Lewis created a naive, yet disillusioned, city man who is quickly swept up in the consumer culture around him. This culture is a whirlwind of flashy new cars and houses, but it ultimately leaves babbitt feeling used, empty and unfulfilled.
In the novel, babbitt is always looking for something new to shock and impress him. He is constantly climbing the ladder of success, but the more he accumulates, the more hollow he feels. One of the biggest symbols of this emptiness is babbitt's relationship with his daughter.
