| Summary | "Arrowsmith" by Sinclair Lewis is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Martin Arrowsmith, a young man with a passion for science and medicine, as he navigates the challenges of becoming a physician in a world that often prioritizes commercial success over genuine healing. The plot begins with Martin's formative experiences, from his childhood in a small town to his education at the University of Winnemac, providing a foundation for his character and intellect. The opening of the novel introduces Martin's lineage, starting with a ragged girl named Emmy in the Ohio wilderness, who becomes the great-grandmother of Martin Arrowsmith. We witness Martin's early fascination with medicine as he assists Doc Vickerson, the local physician, in an unsanitary and chaotic office. As he grows, Martin's ambitions to become a great doctor are shaped by both his experiences and the influences of those around him, including the eccentric Doc Vickerson and the brilliant Professor Max Gottlieb. The narrative sets the stage for Martin's internal struggles with the medical profession’s dichotomy of personal ambition versus the ethical responsibilities of healing, preparing readers for a deep exploration of idealism and reality in the medical field.
