Abstract

Although Grace Metalious seems to mock the town and the people of Peyton Place in the novel, hypocrisy is a theme intended to draw the line between the ideal, seemingly perfect life Americans strive to live in and the reality of the life they face instead. When characters and their actions can first be observed in the book, they are viewed as a mockery of the town. However, after further observation it is true that Grace Metalious is actually trying to display her interest in a hypocritical society and the difference between what the town wants the outside world to view them as and what the people in the town view each other as.

Reverend Fitzgerald seems to mock not only himself and his wife, but also the Protestant Church.
