This article explores the use of artistic detail in Sinclair Lewis’ novel Main Street, emphasizing its significance in depicting the themes of social conformity, individual struggle, and feminist ideals. By focusing on the artistic portrayal of the setting, character development, and literary devices, the study highlights how Lewis’ meticulous descriptions contribute to the novel’s critique of small-town life and societal norms. The research further examines how artistic details serve as a tool for social commentary, offering a lens into the emotional and psychological conflicts within the protagonist, Carol Kennicott. By employing rich and deliberate descriptions, Lewis not only constructs a vivid picture of life in early 20th-century America but also critiques the societal structures that suppress individuality and intellectual growth.
