问题 Sister Carrie, is the greatest literary work by Theodore Dreiser. Discuss Carrie Meeber, the protagonist of the novel.

选项

答案A. Social background:The impact of Darwin’s evolutionary theory on the American thought and the influence of the 19th century French literature on the American men of letters gave rise to yet another school of realism: American naturalism. B. Sister 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 there-by satisfies her desire for social status and material comfort.
