Sister Carrie

Sister Carrie is a landmark work of American literary naturalism. The novel follows Caroline 'Carrie' Meeber, a young woman who leaves rural Wisconsin for Chicago in search of opportunity and a fuller life. Naive and impressionable, Carrie becomes involved with men who offer material comfort but moral compromise. As she rises socially and finds success on the stage, her ambitions grow alongside her emotional isolation. In contrast, George Hurstwood, a man drawn into Carrie’s orbit, experiences a steady personal and financial decline. The novel explores desire, chance, and the impersonal forces shaping modern urban life.
