选项
答案Carrie Meeber is the protagonist of Sister Carrie. Penniless and "full of the illusions of ignorance and youth", she leaves her rural home to seek work in Chicago. She got to know Charles Drouet, a salesman and she became his mistress. During his absence, she falls in love with Drouet’s friend George Hurstwood, a middle-aged, married, comparatively intelligent and cultured saloon manager. They finally elope and live together for more than three years. Carrie becomes mature in intellect and emotion, while Hurstwood, away from the atmosphere of success on which his life has been based, steadily declines. At last she thinks him too great a burden and leaves him. She finally succeeded in her career but feels lonely. Sisler Carrie best embodies Dreiser’s naturalistic belief that while men are controlled and conditioned by heredity, instinct and chance, a few unsophisticated human beings refuse to accept their fate and try to find meaning and purpose for their existence. Carrie, as one of such, senses that she is merely a cipher in an uncaring world yet seeks to grasp the mysteries of life and thereby satisfies her desires for social status and material comfort.
