Abstract
Lewis Clair’s Main street moves around the protagonist Carol’s visions which
are supremely magnificent and outstanding. Her arrival to the new place triggers her
to attempt for bettering the Gopher Prairie by persuading the villagers. But the public
are much prejudiced and male-centric. Men have always plotted against her and her
visions which are drastic. This customary population cannot tolerate the sight of the
course she has directed and this is what the reason her goal remains suspended. She
consequently loses hopes and ultimately realizes that men are accountable for her
crush. Hence she is much serious and probing. She can winnow between rice and
pieces of stone. She sees through the male mentality which is preoccupied with the
quandary that women are inferior and incompetent of launching drastic changes in the
society.Carol is much world-shattering in the sense that she is devoted to keep on
combating for betterment and prosperity for the town Gopher Prairie. Even her
husband thinks that she is poignant and does not have cogent power. Therefore he
soothes her and tries to mollify her repulsive state. She lives an captivated life, and
seems as cool and simple as an apple.
