marriage. However, she fails to understand the complexities of a marriage. She leaves Drouet for Hurstwood, but is unable to maintain this relationship through tough times. Loneliness She is haunted by loneliness when she is with Drouet as she finds him insensitive at times, and not to mention his salesman job keeps him away. Carrie stays with Hurstwood because he promises to marry her. She again starts feeling lonely as a housewife while living at New York. At the end of the story, Carrie has all the wealth and comfort she wanted, and yet, she feels lonely. Ethics and Morals Some may consider Carrie's life to be immoral and unethical as she lives in with men without marriage. During those times, live-in relationships were a taboo. However, she does try her best to be moral by asking both Drouet and Hurstwood to get married to her. While Drouet conveniently ignores this topic, Hurstwood marries her though the marriage is not valid.
Main Characters Carrie Meeber She is a starry-eyed 18-year old protagonist. Like many teenagers, she too has big dreams and a desire for wealth and marriage. She works hard and excels at anything she puts her mind to, and is blissfully unaware of her hidden talents and skills. Charles Drouet A salesman by profession, Drouet meets Carrie in the train on his way to Chicago. He lives in with Carrie, but dodges questions regarding getting married to her. At times, he seems insensitive and egoistic, while at other times he is generous and kind. His concern for Carrie is evident from various incidents such as, he enrolls her name in an amateur theater and also informs her of Hurstwood's marital status. George Hurstwood Hurstwood is a manager at a high-end business. He is also a family man with a wife and children. He befriends Carrie and proclaims his love to her. In the meanwhile, his wife learns of their affair and decides to divorce him. In dire desperation, he robs his workplace and flees to Canada with Carrie, only to return the money and relocate to New York. If Carrie's story is from rags to riches, his is from riches to rags. Failing to find and retain a job, he begins to survive on Carrie's earnings. On being dumped by Carrie, he runs out of money and without a job, he is forced to live on the streets where he ultimately commits suicide. The story teaches quite a few lessons to its readers. One lesson it teaches is that loneliness cannot be filled with materialistic things. Another lesson it teaches is that self-belief and relentless efforts always pay off. Download 22.29 Kb.
