10、he late 19th century, when the emerging industrial and commercial city have been rising, a large number of rural population has poured into the city.

13、 poor Hurstwood unconsciously cruel onto the road of despair, a broken life. Carrie fame, but she is not happy or feel a single loneliness.For her character, her character, mixed. Her in the end what kind of a person, why the author to create such a character?四对嘉莉妹妹的性格分析从作品本身来看,嘉莉妹妹是一个天真单纯、勤奋、浪漫而现实、

14、心地比较善良，有进取心但虚荣心较强的独立女性。From the work itself, Sister Carrie is an innocent, simple, hard-working, romantic and realistic, the heart is relatively good, aggressive but vanity is a strong independent women.第一, 她的天真单纯主要表现如下。她很容易被异性的殷勤和甜言蜜语打动。当她在开往芝加哥的火车上邂逅德鲁埃下火车时提出给她拿包时,她说“你太好了。”并且“感到在异地他乡受到如此殷勤的照顾真是幸运”

15、。而德鲁埃只不过是一个靠“对女人的强烈的欲望和爱慕支撑的胆量来讨女人欢心” 的男子。她病了一场之后把工作丢了,到处找工作都没着落之时,她再次遇到德鲁埃,他先是邀请她吃东西,后来硬塞给她20 美元让她去买衣服和鞋子,这时嘉莉的心情是复杂和矛盾的,她感到羞愧,毕竟不劳而获是可耻的,所以她开始拒绝;但当德鲁埃坚持要给她时,她抵制不住金钱的诱惑,终于接受了,她太需要钱了,所以她在羞愧之余仍然十分高兴,于是她越发觉得德鲁埃这人“慷慨大方,值得称赞”,她根本不知道他是那种“把追求女人当作一种乐趣的男人。所以当姐姐姐夫看她找不到工作嫌她是个累赘想赶她回老家时,德鲁埃又提出让她住到他那里去,并且帮她找工作,这

16、时嘉莉已经完全被他征服了,乖乖地成了他的情妇。她幻想着德鲁埃能够娶她,可是德鲁埃并不是一个对感情专一的人,他到处拈花惹草,甚至还和他的女仆调情,每当嘉莉提到结婚的话题时,他总说等他生意好一点再说。嘉莉对他似乎不抱幻想了。但她被第二个男人骗得更惨,这第二个男人便是德鲁埃的朋友赫斯特伍德。嘉莉同样被他的外表和谈吐打动了,在德鲁埃出差时频频和他约会,她全然不知赫斯特伍德已是有妇之夫。当德鲁埃告诉她赫斯特伍德的情况之后,她才知道自己上当受骗,悔恨不已。但嘉莉的单纯还在后头。当嘉莉得知赫斯特伍德已有家室时,决定不再和他交往,可是老谋深算的赫斯特伍德有一天突然来到她的住处告诉嘉莉德鲁埃生病住院了,嘉莉丝毫

17、不怀疑地跟着他走,谁知道又是被他骗了,骗到了开往另一个地方的火车上驶向另一个陌生的城市,这样她只好跟了他,在他化名后,成了他的妻子。嘉莉的天真、单纯使她两度成为男人的猎物First, her naivete and simplicityShe is easy to move by heterosexual complaisance and sweet words. she encountered Drouet on the train for Chicago and after getting off the train,Drouet asked for taking the package

18、for Carrie, she said, very kind of you. and felt that it is really lucky to get the such complaisant care in strange land. But Carrie didnt know Drouet was a person who only relies on the strong desire and adoration for women and made women happy. Carrie was out of work after an illness and couldnt

19、find a job in a short time, she met Drouet again and he invited Carrie to dinner and then forced upon her twenty dollars to let her buy clothes and shoes. Then Carries mood is complex and contradictory, and she felt ashamed and refused him, but she accepted at last under the lure of money. Once agai

20、n Carrie though Drouet was a generous and very good person, but she didnt know he was only a man who took the pursuit of women for fun. When Carrie had no choice and had to go home, Drouet gave a hand to Carrie, so Carrie was moved and became his mistress at last. Later, because of her simplicity, C

She was also attracted by the appearance and conversation of him and he was infatuated with her pretty, so they frequently made appointment, but she was completely unaware of Hurstwood was a married man. When Drouet told her that Hurstwood

22、had a family, she knew that she was deceived and she felt much regretted. When Carrie was informed that the Hurstwood has been married and decided not to contacts with him, but one day, Hurstwood suddenly came to her residence and tell Carrie that Drouet was sick in the hospital, she follows him wit

23、h no doubt then she was cheated to strange city- New York by Hurstwood.

29、ter his pseudonym, asHis wife.Carrie naive, simple to make her twice to become the prey of a mans。第二, 她的勤奋，有进取心。嘉莉的勤奋主要表现在她的工作上。初到芝加哥的第二天,她就出去找工作,奔走了一整天,最后找到了一家周薪四块五的鞋厂,虽然待遇低、工时长,工作环境恶劣,但她忍受着,后来因为她穿着单薄,禁不起寒冷的袭击病倒了,这份可怜的工作丢掉了。她成为德鲁埃的情妇后,德鲁埃所属的共济会正在演出一部募捐戏煤气灯下, 正好缺女主角,德鲁埃便让嘉莉去试试,她天天在家里练习,后来终于把这个角色成功地表

30、演了出来。这个经历为她后来在百老汇的成功打下了基础。被赫斯特伍德骗到纽约后,嘉莉先是家庭主妇,但当赫斯特伍德失业后,生活日趋窘困,嘉莉不得不自己出去找事做,后来在一家合唱团当一名不起眼的合唱演员。但她从未放弃希望和努力,后来终于越来越走红,过上了富裕的生活。她的成功是和她的勤奋分不不开的。 Second.

For running all day, she finally found a job that weekly pays four point five dollars in a shoes factory.Though it was low pay, long working hours, poor working conditions, she endured that. Later because she was wearing thin, she got cold and lost her job. After she became the mistress of

32、Drouet, Carrie tried to in improving herself in taste and she found herself was more tasted than Drouet. And at that time, the Masonic which Drouet belonged to was performing a fund-raisingPlay - Under the Gaslight, just missing the heroine. Drouet asked Carrie to have a try, so Carrie replied to tr

33、y. Carrie practiced painstakingly at home everyday and though that is a good choice to get rid of privation. So she knew that if she wanted to success, she had to hardworking and then Carrie finally performed this role successfully. This experience laid a solid foundation for her to success in the B

34、roadway later. Hurstwood lured Carrie to New York and they lived together. Carrie first was a housewife, but when Hurstwood, was unemployment and stayed at home. The environment was getting increasingly embarrassment; Carrie had to go out to look for a job to do, then in a choir as a humble chorus a

35、ctor. But she did not give up hope and made an effort, she eventually became more and more popular, lived a prosperous life. Without her hard work, Carrie could get success at last. Her gumption expressed in improving herself. In Chicago, Carrie learned the conversations and manners of the people in

36、 select society.第三, 浪漫而现实。她的浪漫体现在她对生活和情感的幻想中,她幻想自己终究会“得到回报,她的辛勤劳动不会白费。”在找到那份周薪四块五的工作后,她幻想“她会比以前过得更快活幸福的生活在等着她。”但她的幻想很快就破灭了,在这个竞争激烈的大都市里,毫无工作经验的她找工作相当困难;那份周薪四块五的工作环境恶劣得她几乎难以忍受,而且她还要付给姐姐、姐夫伙食费,剩下的钱还不够她坐车。而且病了三天之后,这样的一份工作也丢了。她的浪漫还体现在她对情感的幻想中,她先是幻想德鲁埃会和她结婚,后来则幻想和赫斯特伍德会有一个理想的结合,可是前者并不真的想娶她,而后者也只是把她当作躲避蛮横

37、无理而又粗野的妻子的避风港,她的情感的幻想相继破灭,所以在她得到名利之后,她仍然不幸福。名利并非一切,先后两次遭到情感的打击使她对生活和爱情不再抱幻想,所以她迷惘,在成功之后她并不快乐,因为她的生活是有缺憾的,这种缺憾就是情感的失败。所以她变得逐渐现实起来。在赫斯特伍德失业之后,她毅然离开了她,独自去闯荡世界,终于在社会中找到了适合自己的角色。她浪漫是因为她不懂得社会竞争的残酷、不了解人心的险恶;她现实是因为生活的磨练教会了她不再轻易相信男人,只有凭自己的努力才能过自己想要的生活。Third, the romantic and realistic. Her romantic reflected

HerThe romance is also reflected in her emotional fantasies, her first fantasy GermanyLuai to marry her, and later fantasy and Hirst Wood will beAn ideal combination, but the former does not really want to marry her, and thenOnly her

41、 as a wife to avoid the outrageous and unrulyA safe haven for her emotional illusions have been shattered, so she had toAfter that fame, fortune, she still is not happy.

43、e for their roles. Her romance is because she does notUnderstand that social competition is brutal, sinister do not understand the peoples hearts; her realityBecause life hone church she no longer easily believe that a man,Only by their own efforts to live the life you want.第四, 她的虚荣心。嘉莉是一个虚荣心很强的女人,这

44、种虚荣心导致了她成为男人的牺牲品,同时也促使她日后走向成功。她总是向往衣服和首饰,当她去百货公司找工作时,她被每件商品吸引着“, 无论是廉价的小饰物,还是贵重的首饰,件件都吸引着她?这些饰物哪一件她不想现在就戴在身上而哪一件她不渴望拥有呢? 那精致的拖鞋和长统袜,镶着美丽饰边的裙子和衬裙,各色各样的花边、缎带、发梳和花包,这一切要是都能拥有,该多好啊。” “她内心充满了对穿戴和美貌的渴望。”后来她和赫斯特伍德在纽约住下来之后,有一次隔壁的万斯太太邀她去看戏,她的虚荣心在和万斯太太的攀比下表现的淋漓尽致“, 嘉莉自己打扮得也够漂亮了,可是跟万斯太太一比,不由得自惭形秽起来。万斯太太怎么会有这么多

45、可爱的小玩意儿? ?”和万斯太太一起走在人流中,嘉莉更加不自在,“满大街都充斥着一股富足和炫耀之气,而嘉莉觉得自己与之格格不入。她无论如何也不会有万斯太太的仪态和风度,这一事实令她难以接受,使她痛苦万分。最后她发誓,不打扮得漂亮点儿就决不再到这儿来。同时她又渴望能和别人穿得一样华丽,到这儿出风头。那将是多么快乐的事啊!”) 嘉莉的虚荣心就这样表现在她对商品的渴望和同别人的攀比中,同时还表现在她对名利的追求中,但也正是这种虚荣心使得她不满足于自己的现状, 使她走出自己生活的圈子,最终获得了成功,得到了她梦寐以求的名利。Fourth, her vanity. Carrie is a Woman w

46、ith strong vanity and desire for material and just because of this vanity and material desire led her to become a victim of the two men-Drouet and Hurstwood, also contributed to her success in the future. She was always yearning for clothes and Jewelry, so when she went to the department store to lo

47、ok for a job, Carrie was attracted by each item, whether it is cheap trinkets, or expensive jewelry, each piece is attracted to her. She wanted to wear all the jewelry on her body and desire to have them all. That delicate slippers and stockings, trimmed with beautiful trim skirts and petticoats, al

48、l every color of the lace, ribbons, combs, and flower package, what a wonderful thing if she can have them all. Her heart is filled with the desire of wear and beauty. Later she lived in New York with Hurst wood in some time and once the next door neighbor, Mrs. Vance invited her to the theater, her vanity reveal fully by the comparisons with Mrs. Vance. Carrie thought himself was pretty enough, but when compared to Mrs. Vance, it is not pretty a
