Marriage
Frank Sinatra, your grandpa's favorite blue-eyed crooner, would have us believe that love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage. But for Georgie Babbitt, love and marriage go together like a crazy horse with broken legs and a carriage in flames. He sees his wife Myra as an unsexy nag whose main purpose in life is to second-guess everything he does.
So one day, he gets up and has an affair with another woman. It's not really until later in Babbitt that he realizes that he might be the problem, not Myra. After all, he's the one who is constantly taking out his dissatisfaction on all the people around him.
In Babbitt, we learn that at in the long run, marriage is always stronger than the temptation to be with other people.
In Babbitt, Sinclair Lewis shows us that love and marriage don't necessarily go together.
