Theodore Dreiser's book (Sister Carrie) provides evidence that pursuing riches has become a defining

feature of life in America. There he spent a lot of time researching the circumstances around the
exploitation industry. And we can see that in his book, which is also known as drift, the drifting
philosophy finds its creative expression. That is, absorbing hardship and turning it into a means of
obtaining enjoyment.

In the context of American capitalism, the novel (Sister Carrie) discusses what happens to the people.
starting with the bourgeois class's moral decline. Caroline Mapper, the book's protagonist, was raised in
a working-class in which selfishness was the main trait, while Carrie was good with the unassuming
cuteness of a transitional age. Although she had little interest in learning anything, she was doggedly
drawn to material objects because she cared about how she looked. Carrie transforms from a shoe
factory worker to a well-known musical theater performer, but this success is only the outward sign of a
fulfilled existence, and each step she takes is a moral failure that cannot be repaired.

(Carrie) meets Dorit by chance and starts a relationship with him. she leaves to Canada. If she chooses
not to rely on him and rejects his love, Hurstord extends an invitation for her to marry him. Herstord is

a magnificent theatrical skill; that is, it communicates all human goals and embodies all human
sensations in the human face, but she was unconcerned with the nature of her talent. Additionally,
Dreiser quietly highlights how society is to blame for the loss of this human value.

The book places a strong emphasis on the premise that wealth and beauty are closely linked; a healthy,
well-groomed look and elegant clothing that is chosen with taste substantially magnify what nature
bestows. The fact that the director likes how she looks and lets her join the cast is what helps Carrie land
a position at a New York theater.

that comes your way (Dreiser). Given that the majority of girls and women at the time—the book's
primary consumers—had the same sentiments, this may have been Dreiser's marketing strategy. The
issue of Carrie's capacity for love, in particular, begins to surface. because it appears that starting a
family is exclusively an honorable task for women.
