Abstract EN
The first American author who won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1930, Sinclair Lewis viewed the hollowness in the twentieth-century American society.
He yearned for social justice and alteration of the unacceptable conformity to the established patterns of class that left individuals lost, unable to fit themselves neither into their families nor in the whole society, consequently leading them to escape.
This paper investigates the reasons why Carol Milford from Lewis's novel Main Street 1920, feels dissatisfied with her life.
It exposes the different ways that she, the intelligent and ambitious young lady, tries in order to cope with her unsatisfying reality after marrying and moving to a small town in Minnesota.
The study ends up with a conclusion that tries to find a justifiable healthy and constructive way of facing one's hard experiences.
