The character in Sinclair Lewis's "Babbitt" illustrates the profound effects of a monotonous married life, leading to a loss of identity and vitality. She has settled into her domestic role to such an extent that she appears devoid of femininity and personal spark, akin to an unenergetic nun. Her existence is characterized by routine and a lack of enthusiasm, which diminishes her presence in the eyes of others.
Despite being a good and kind woman who diligently fulfills her responsibilities, she is largely overlooked by society. It seems that the only person who notices her at all is her young daughter, Tinka. This highlights the isolation and invisibility that can accompany a life dedicated solely to the demands of marriage and motherhood, where personal needs and individuality are often neglected.
