Main Street
Edité par The New American Library - 1961
The lonely predicament of Carol Kennicott, caught between her desires for social reform and individual happiness, reflects the position in which America's turn-of-the-century, "emancipated woman" found herself. Carol's dilemma is intensified by the fact that she lives in the small, self-satisfied, Midwestern town of Gopher Prairie. An allegory of exile and return, "Main Street" attacks the drab complacency and ingrown mores of those who resist change, who are Under the illusion that they have chosen their tradition.
