She had vain imaginings about place and power, about faroff lands and magnificent people， seeing luxury house, all lighted her desire again. She owned other fancy. Drouet also could not content with her present need. Soon she began to see where he lacked. She felt that Drouet did not have the keenest sensibilities and did not have any intention to marry her. She finally realized that she was not deeply in love with him. She met a man who was cleverer than Drouet in a hundred ways. Her fancy was further deeply. She thought she needed more .At that time Hustwood turned up. Hurstwood was the manager of Fitzgerald and Moy’s. He had been very successful and – known in the town. He was a very acceptable individual of our great American upper class the first grade below the luxuriously rich. All that he most respected on the earth was wealth, place and fame. Sister Carrie considered her condition from her shabby room in the Hanson’s flat to her luxurious apartment at the Waldorf, from Hurstwood’s luxurious house in Chicago to his final lodging of fifteen cents each day. Hurstwood felt that she was suitable for him, because he had a very unhappy family, a selfish wife and disagreeable children. The home was nothing for him.

Through municating with Hurstwood, she felt that he had more power than Drouet, enough money, she lived with Hurstwood, and her life would be perfect. She shared all things with Hurstwood. Unfortunately, when they moved to New York, Hurstwood was not able to find or keep a job, with no one left to support her.

Three windows looked down into busy Broadway on lovely bedrooms, set with brass and white enamel beds, whit ribbontrimmed chairs and chiffoniers to match. In the third room, or parlor, was a piano, a heavy piano lamp, with a shade of geous pattern, a library table, several huge easy rockers, some dado book shelves, and a Gilt curio case, filled with oddities. Pictures were upon the walls, soft Turkish pillows upon the divan footstools of brown plush upon the floor. Such kind of living condition was what Carrie wanted. On the one hand, living in the Wellington Hotel provided the vanity she longed for. On the other hand, her wage increased from 30 to owned enough materials. Sister Carrie looked down upon Hurstwood.
