KEY WORDS: Sister Carrie Dreiser his families experiences
Theodore Dreiser is one of America's greatest writers, and its greatest naturalist writers. With the publication of " Sister Carrie " in 1900, Dreiser committed his force to opening the new ground of America naturalism. "Sister Carrie" is about Carrie and her relationship with Charlie H. Drouet and G. W. Hurstwood. Carrie is a young, pretty but poor girl. She longs for the rich life in big cities and dreams of joining upper-crust society. So she leaves her hometown for Chicago. Because of hardship of factory work, she is willing to be the mistress of Drouet, whom she met on the train. The man's friend, G. W. Hurstwood woos her and she accepts him. Hurstwood steals money from Fitzgerald and Moy's, kidnaps her and takes her to New York. There Hurstwood becomes poorer and poorer and at last he suicides by gassing himself with methane, while Carrie becomes famous and earns a lot of money. Still she can not get happy. Maybe this is the punishment the author sets for her.
In Europe the mid-nineteenth century had seen many novels in which the central situation was that of a young man from the provinces coming to the big city to seek his fortune. Sister Carrie begins in a similar way although here it is, unprecedentedly, not a young man but a young woman from the countryside. Carrie is the seeker, the dreamer for gold. So she begins her adventure.
