An Analysis of the Character —— Carrie Meeber
|
| |
abstract:
sister carrie has been called the quintessential modern american novel. through its characters and their story, it illustrates the effects of the changing economic structure on american culture. my article’s main objective is to analyze how does dreiser’s naturalistic style be exposed through the character carrie meeber in sister carrie.
sister carrie tells the story of two characters: carrie meeber, an ordinary girl who rises from a low-paid wage earner to a high-paid actress, and george hurstwood, a member of the upper middle class who falls from his comfortable lifestyle to a life on the streets. neither carrie nor hurstwood earn their fates through virtue or vice, but rather through random circumstance. their successes and failures have no moral value; this stance marks sister carrie as a departure from the conventional literature of the period.
