| Notes: | George F. Babbitt is a prosperous real-estate broker in the Midwestern town of Zenith. He is a pillar of his community, a civic booster and a believer in achieving success for its own sake. When his best friend is arrested for shooting his own wife. Babbitt begins to question and rebel against some of the values that he has always upheld. COMMENTS — From this stinging satire came the word “Babbitt,” a synonym for mindless conformity. |
