Theodore Dreiser’s novel ‘Sister Carrie’ is a seminal work of American literature that explores themes of ambition, desire, and the complexities of urban life at the turn of the 20th century. The story follows Carrie Meeber, a young woman who moves to Chicago in search of a better life and becomes entangled in the city’s bustling, often harsh, social and economic realities. Dreiser’s naturalistic style vividly portrays Carrie’s rise from a factory worker to a Broadway star, highlighting the often morally ambiguous nature of success and the relentless pursuit of the American Dream. The novel is notable for its unflinching depiction of the struggles and transformations faced by individuals in a rapidly industrializing society.
