【正文】 w apartment with a baby.On the one hand, Hanson is employed as a cleaner of refrigerator cars with poor wage. His life is wrapped up in a trilogy getting up pretty early in the morning, reading newspaper silently before dinner and sleep, tricking his beloved baby that seems to be the only thing that ” makes a pleasant side of his life”. The only thing about Carrie that draws his attention is whether Carrie has a job to pay for the board and he bees silence every time it es to expenditure on entertainment. He holds indifferent attitude towards Carrie’s presence or absence, not to mention lending help to Carrie. Repressed by poverty, Hanson’s life is replete with monotony and dullness and his family is scarcely paid visit to by friends, relatives or colleagues.On the other hand, Minnie is the replica of Hanson, with ideas of life colored by her husband. “Minnie had invited Carrie, not because she longed for her presence, but because the latter was dissatisfied at home, and could probably get work and pay her board here”. It is the board pay that Minnie cares about instead of sister’s wellbeing in Chicago. So when there is not money they can possible flow into Carrie’s purse from sister after losing job in the shoe making pany. As a matter of fact, Minnie sides with Hanson in the matter of persuading Carrie to return home to get through winter, which indirectly results in Carrie’s dependence on Drouet.B. Gaining Independence from LoversSister Carrie naively puts her stakes on two men, first Drouet then Hurstwood. While this proved to no avail, she starts striving by her own. Although fascinated by great buildings, exuberant parks, shady boulevards, theater, fine houses introduced by Drouet, there is a little ache in her fancy of all the described. Her insignificance in the presence of so much magnificence faintly affectes her. Due to disability to tell difference between truth and lies, insufficiency in social experience and narrow horizon as a country girl, she estimates Drouet by his appearance. Impressed with Drouet’s exquisite dressing, fat purse and decent behavior, she has subconsciously accepted this man’s solicitation. She admires and trusts in this total stranger and therefore accepts his socalled friend aids of two soft, green tendollar bills, and subsequent gorgeous clothes and fortable acmodation. It is reasonable for her to choose the latter one between being driven home and “keeping safe in a halcyon harbor” with a little greencarpeted breathing spot, goodquality Brussels carpet, large pierglass mirror, a soft plushcovered couch and a wardrobe.Drouet loves to make advances to women, to have them succumb to his charms because he regards it as a chief delight. He is vain and boastful and deluded by fine clothes. He exchanges material possession for Carrie’s acpany to extravagant clothes in order to satisfy the betters. His genuine attitude towards Carrie is vividly depicted in the sentence “how delicious is my conquest”. When Hurstwood, pared with whom he is marginal in fortune and social contacts, appreciated and admired him for having Carrie, he is pleased and satisfied.Besides, there is no mutual respect and understanding between their relationships. Drouet always releases an air of superiority and arrogance. He constantly stares at and praises stylishly dressed and beautiful woman frivolously on street without slightest thought of his behavior might hurt Carrie’s feeling. He watches closes on every tiny movement of women’s feet, chins and with what with what grace and sinuosity they swung bodies and follows the disappearing with his eyes. Besides, He is too careless to prehend Carrie’s sensibility and kept educating and wounding her. Drouet can not hear delicacy and loneliness in Carrie’s voice and consoles her out of depression over tragic life. All in all, they bee more and more distant and estranged in mind, at least which is the case in Carrie’s side.Drouet never thinks about forging a righted and justified marriage with Carrie. Despite of Carrie’s persistence in getting married like traditional women, he tries every means to evade the topic and postpones marriage date again and again.He is lucky in the fact that opportunity tumble into his lap in serving as savior of Carrie in predicament. “With a little more experience, the slightest tide of success, and he has not been able to approach Carrie at all”.Drouet bombards on her by satisfying her desire for fancy goods and taking her to elegant theaters and upscaled restaurants, which are symbols of substantial wealth and high social status in Carrie’s point of view and exactly what Carrie has been longing and struggling for. As a green country girl who lacks school education and professional training, she loses hope in finding a new job. She pays for her material desire by being Drouer’s temporary private doll to expel loneliness and brag as a trophy deprived of physical and mental free will. Drouet views Carrie as his personal belonging and items to show off and win dignity and honor in high social class, which explains why he insists in inviting Hurstwood.Hurstwood, manager of a gorgeous saloon from a Chicago standpoint, is well established in a neat house and an individual of American upper class the first grade below the luxuriously rich. He is shrewd, clever and professionally tactful. During Carrie’s contact with Hurstwood, who is a sophisticated and tactful married man to a middle class lady and engages in perennial arguments with his vain and selfconceited wife then, Carrie observes his advantages over Drouet in wealth, social class and manner. In Carrie’s eyes, Hurstwood is cleverer than Drouet in a hundred ways, for example, he is not overawed and overbold and possessed mild, placid and assured temperament. His patent clothes are elegant in material and do not strike the eye so forcibly as Drouet’s conspicuous clothes. Most importantly, he is alive with thoughts and fe
