Summary: "Sister Carrie" by Theodore Dreiser is a novel written during the late 19th century (the Gilded Age). The story focuses on the life of Caroline Meeber, known affectionately as Sister Carrie, as she embarks on a journey to Chicago in search of work and a better life. The narrative explores themes of ambition, societal pressures, and the pursuit of material success, while also painting a vivid picture of the city’s allure and its hidden dangers. The beginning of "Sister Carrie" introduces the main character, Carrie Meeber, as she leaves her rural home for the bustling streets of Chicago with only a small amount of money and a ticket. At just eighteen, Carrie is naive but full of dreams and aspirations, driven by the hope of achieving something greater in the city. Upon her arrival, she encounters a traveling salesman named Drouet, who takes a particular interest in her. Carrie’s initial excitement is juxtaposed with her later experiences in her sister Minnie's cramped apartment, highlighting the stark contrast between her dreams and the harsh reality of her new life. The opening chapters set the stage for Carrie's exploration of Chicago and the challenges she will face as she navigates the complexities of class, ambition, and identity.
