Fascinated by her beauty, Hessworth embezzled public funds and fled with her to New York to live together. In New York, Carrie took the stage and gradually became successful, but Hesworth gradually fell. The two break up, and Hesworth eventually commits suicide.

Dreiser's birth and career as a tabloid journalist have accumulated rich creative materials for him, and also created his contradictory personality, which is fully reflected in the concept of wealth and poverty and class reflected in this work.

Dreiser casts his own shadow on carries the character of Carrie, using this image to express the challenge and destruction of the established order.

Therefore, the hostility and castration encountered at the beginning of the work's publication is not entirely because the depiction of improper gender relations is offensive, but the author's idea of allowing a materialistic bottom woman to achieve and not criticize at the cost of destroying the middle class, which is undoubtedly challenging the foundation of Puritan morality.

The novel is distinctly mature in writing style, sandwiched, structured skillfully symmetrical, and its excellent realist brushwork makes Dreiser start and become the backbone of American realist literature, and this work is also a hot seller a hundred years later because it is bright and easy to read.
