Summary: "An American Tragedy, v. 2" by Theodore Dreiser is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the complex life and inner struggles of Clyde Griffiths, who is torn between his relationship with two women: Roberta Alden and Sondra Finchley. As Clyde navigates societal expectations, class distinctions, and personal desires, the narrative delves into themes of ambition, morality, and the tragic consequences of choices made in the pursuit of happiness. At the start of the second volume, Clyde finds himself ensnared in a web of conflicting emotions and responsibilities. He is increasingly distracted by his infatuation with Sondra while grappling with the looming threat posed by his relationship with Roberta, who is expecting their child. The tension mounts as Clyde actively seeks opportunities to maintain his social climbing aspirations at the same time as he tries to distance himself from Roberta, who is pressing him for commitment. The opening chapters vividly depict his internal turmoil, showcasing Clyde's tragic inability to reconcile his desires with his obligations, foreshadowing the looming disaster that threatens to engulf him.
