He wants a job that requires no study and no preparation, its only qualification being the desire for wealth, success, and adventure. Ted is looking for short cuts. Page 25 Ted is indeed his father's sononly more verbal and more naive. Babbitt is also a man of short cuts; he has exchanged original thinking and reasoning for the opinions of Howard Littlefield and the editorials in the daily newspaper. Ted does not want to earn financial success; Babbitt does not want to earn an independent mind.
Page 25 Ted is indeed his father's sononly more verbal and more naive. Babbitt is also a man of short cuts; he has exchanged original thinking and reasoning for the opinions of Howard Littlefield and the editorials in the daily newspaper. Ted does not want to earn financial success; Babbitt does not want to earn an independent mind. To Ted, Milton and Shakespeare and Wordsworth are "old-fashioned junk"; to Babbitt, poetry (and all art for that matter) are suspectsubjects that wasted a lot of Babbitt's time during his stint at State U.
Babbitt, however, is unconcerned about his daughter's desire to do something "worthwhile"; he is repulsed by Verona's naive dream of opening a small chintz-decorated welfare corner in a department store. "Rone," the Babbitt's eldest child, is a dreamer, and now that Babbitt is fully awake, he scoffs at dreams. Ted, the Babbitts' second child, is also a dreamer. He dreams of shortcuts to success and also of becoming an adventurous secret agent. Neither of Babbitt's older children respect work as much as their father hoped they would.
