Abstract

The paper studies the novel “Main Street” by Sinclair Lewis, a great American novelist of the 20th century, a prominent representative of critical realism. It studies the serious conflict between the heroine, Carol Milford and the society surrounding her. Both the essence of the struggle of the heroes and the inevitability of her defense are presented convincingly and with examples. Struggling alone against overall stupidity and ignorance Carol Milford eventually understands that she can’t realize her dream – to make yet one provincial town better.
