Sister Carrie
美国大学经济学专业排名 Theodore Dreir is one of the most influential American writers of critical realism, but many of his works referred to the description of naturalism and weakened his critical spirit. When most novels deal only with the smiling and beautiful aspects of life, Dreir advocates truthful reflection of life in his fiction. It is not an exaggeration to say that Dreir's Sister Carrie clears the way for the development of American fiction. In prepare的名词Sister Carrie Dreir details the relationship among reason, free will and instinct: When humans' instinct and reason are at war, the former prevails over the latter in most instances; humans' free will is mostly an illusion and submits to humans' instinct.
kickoffTheodore Dreir is regarded as an outstanding reprentative of American naturalism.

eanwhile the thesis analyzes three features of naturalism. At last, we can draw the conclusion that the leading character of the novel-Carrie’s destiny has a great connection with Dreir himlf and the decline of Hurstwood is a result of Dreir’s fear of failure, but Dreir attributes Carrie and Hurstwood’s unhappiness to their insatiable desire for life or they are doomed to be unhappy etc, and from which we can e Dreir’s naturalism easily.

“Sitting in the rocking chair, Carrie dreams her future”---this is the deep impression the novel Sister Carrie gives me, nding me into a mournful and thoughtful state. Though Carrie, the heroine, a pure girl from a little village, was born in a working family of a flour mill. Far more different from other heroines, Carrie was not a plain pure angel like Snow-white, nor was she brave enough to be a heroine of revolutionist or even a reformer, nor was she so clever as to be a successful career woman who start from scratch. she yearns for the luxurious life in a big city. Ambitious as a girl like her, she goes to Chicago with a surge of being rich. What attracted her most, after her entering this huge metropolis was the incredible fineries, fashion shoes, smart handbags displaying in the s

On the train, he met a man, Derouet, who opened the door to the gorgeous city life for her . Under the temptation of beautiful clothes, magnificent hous and rarefied dishes, she surrendered. She became Derouet’s girl friend. However ,when better temptation came, she surrendered again. She eloped with Hurstwood, a manager of a groggery who just got a large amount of money. They did have s short period of happy life in New York. But latter on , Hurstwood ud up all the money and Carrie became a famous star.

I don't think it is all Carrie's fault ,becau everyone love beautiful things and better life,especially girls..All girls have the same dream of becoming a shining princess with others' adoration.Carrie didn't do it on purpo.In the pursuit of money,social status and her dreams,she had give up something she had already have.Compared with her dreaming life,she clo to abandon her so called"love".We can't say that she was cold blooded or hardhearted,she was just an ordinary girl who lost herlf under the temptation of gorgeous material things.Her love to Hurstwood was bad on money and social status.Her experience of struggling for better life made her lost the ability to love and the She long for happiness,but she realized that she never get it,just as it reads"In your rocking chair,by your window,shall you dream such happiness as you may never feel".
Carrie is the embodiment of the typical Americans who are morally adrift in the brutal, unprincipled and materialistic world. Losing themlves in the world of benefit-first, market-directed economy, most Americans at that period run after fortune and fame all their lives, considering little about their moral ones. The current situation in China is the same. Students study for the sake of plump wallets, doctors work for the purpo of “red envelope” given by the helpless patients, and more similar to Carrie, young ladies, in order to live a sumptuous life, dream of marrying handsome and rich men or even become the other women of wealthy men.
Such a phenomenon reflects the prevalence of mammonism in our material society. Do their pursuits of fortune make n? I don’t think so. Like Carrie, when the worldly people get what they want at last, most of them come to realize that their lives are empty. As far as I am concerned, what the author manages to tell us is the virtue of life. Chasing after high-quality and high-standard life is of no blame, but it should not be the ultimate goal of life. One ought to live a meaningful life, with a confidant or confidante, with a happy family and his or her responsibilities and obligation. Totally different from this spirit
ual-and-material life, the hotel manager Hurstwood only lives in the corporeal world. Neither has he had a family nor taken up his job. What he simply owns are a hou and a woman and what he has done is only showing off his fortune.
