The girl named Carrie in "Sister Carrie" is a handsome rural girl. She envied the material life in the metropolis, so she went to Chicago, the largest city in the United States at that time, to make a living. However, the harsh reality shattered her dream, and what greeted her was unemployment and illness. When she was desperate, she became the salesman's mistress. Later, due to greater desire, she became the mistress of the hotel manager Hurstwood. After eloping with Hurstwood, she became a popular actress in New York by chance. It is through the experience of sister Jiali that the author shows the ruthlessness and inhumanity of capitalist society, where money is paramount and human desires are rampant.
