@kitycalifornia, I think it explores the idiocy & boredom of the 1950s suburbs.
While there are some universal themes in the story, it is set in a particular time and place, that had its own spirit. It was a very difficult moment in the history of the American family, partly because of the war and also how people were struggling to define what the suburbs were going to be. There was tremendous pressure to conform.
Things aren't nearly as bad now as they were then.
The cookie cutter houses and mundane careers are still alive and well. Sorry Eye, I don't see how things are better, aside for America being a bit more liberal socially. We have a lot to learn from our European Counterparts. Best.
As an 108 year old, you really ought to know what a HUGE difference "more liberal socially" makes.
But if you don't, just ask any black person over 60 whether things are better now. Or any woman who got pregnant out of wedlock back then. Or anyone victimized by domestic abuse or rape. Or any homosexual. Or anyone accused of being communist. Or any Hispanic who had wanted to be a manager in a bank. Or any Jewish person who attended college. Or even the regular people who lived in suburbia...
