Vivid Heroine

——On Sister Carrie

Carrie was such an ordinary rural girl at the beginning of the story.Sitting on the seat of a bus, she couldn’t help feeling exciting at the sight of the metropolis’ spectacle.She was impressed deeply by large crowd on the avenue, the spacious square or tall buildings.Far more different from other heroines, Carrie was not a plain pure angel like Snow-white, nor was she brave enough to be a heroine of revolutionist or even a reformer, nor was she so clever as to be a successful career woman who start from scratch.What attracted her most, after her entering this huge metropolis was the incredible fineries, fashion shoes, smart handbags displaying in the shop windows, the jewellerys shining brightly behind the glass.She dreamed that one day, she could wear all of these, jogging gracefully into the most luxurious hotel with focused sights of admiration.And this was not merely a dream.Because she had large eyes which can earn others’ sympathy, even love.She had wonderful figure which can win others’ hearts.However, anything she got, anywhere she reached, had not come from her ambition.Things happened, and then she accepted.That’s what she had just done — just to accept willingly from the bottom of her heart.She was not at all an evil woman who would give anything

for the fortune or fame.However, she would give uo something for a better life when her instinct defeated her intellect.That was Carrie, a girl had her own desire, a human being just like many others in the realistic world.There’s one sentence written in chapter VIII:” When this jangle of free-will instinct shall have been adjusted, when perfect understanding has given the former the power to replace the latter entirely, man will no longer vary.” However, how many people can go that further.And I want to quote another sentence to wind up my essay:

“In Carrie — as in how many of our wordings do they not? — instinct and reason, desire and understanding, were at war for the mastery.”

第二篇：嘉莉妹妹讀后感英文

Sister Carrie

Theodore Dreiser, born in Terre Haute, Indiana, USA, was raised in poverty and in a German-speaking environment.He left home for Chicago at age 16.After a period of odd jobs and a year at the University of Indiana, he became a Midwestern newspaper reporter and, in New York after 1894, a magazine feature writer.In 1892, married Sara White, but their marriage wasn’t happy, so they have been separated since 1909 and never officially divorced

Sister Carrie(1900), his first and still highly regarded novel, was withheld from general distribution because of it was supposed amoral, and its commercial failure plunged him into financial distress and mental breakdown.Some reasons which caused the difficulties of publish can be seen from the social background of the society of that time.At the time, United States is experiencing a rapid social change, it was transforming from free capitalism transition to the monopoly capitalism.The whole American literature was indulged in idealism, many writers preferred to describe the optimistic aspect of life.The novel is regarded as entertainment products;works is full of illusory ideal and covered by romantic color.The exploiter and exploitee lived a completely different life.The ugly phenomenon in the society was not reflected in literature works.In Sister Carrie, Dreiser truthfully reveals the dark side of the social life, and that’s the reason why the author constantly suffered from persecution.The novels have been classified as “banned”, and can not be published in the America.Sister Carrie is about a young country girl who moves to the big city where she starts realizing her own American Dream, first as a mistress to men that she perceives as superior, and later becoming a famous actress.It has been called the “greatest of all American urban novels.”

The personal life of the writer has very close relationship with his work Sister Carrie.There are some similarities between the author and the heroine.First, the heroine was born in a poor family just as same as the author.That’s why the author can know so clearly about the psychological activity of the poor girl Carrie and described it in such delicate words.Second, it can be seen from the novel that the place where the girl chase her dream was Chicago.The author also has gone to the same place to fulfill his dream.So he saw what Carrie saw.For instance, how the rich men lived, how they enjoy their life, what was the poor’s life like, with such a living experience, the gap between the rich and the poor was so truly reflected before our eyes.Third, they all once are earning meager support from menial jobs.Forth, they all have the same dream.Dreiser has admitted that he was once chased after the pleasure from material things, but he despised it afterwards.Carrie’s life was always surrounded by her chasing for a better material life.At the beginning, she left her hometown and came for her sister.But when her sister’s living couldn’t attract her anymore, she went to the salesman Drouet, then Hursthood and at last the theater.Except the heroine, the character Hursthood was not so happy in his marriage life, so was the author.Hursthood was suppressed and looking for something new, thrill and beautiful.Maybe Hursthood’s mental state was just like the author’s during that period.Sven Hanson, Minnie's husband, of Swedish extraction and taciturn temperament.As we all know, Dreiser’s father was a Swedish, a severe rigid and distant man.We can slightly suppose that the character of Sven Hanson was originated from his father.As for Carrie, there’s such a sentence in the book: “In Carrie—as in many of our worldings do they not?— instinct and reason, desire and understanding, were at war for the mastery.She

followed whither her craving led.She was as yet more drawn than she drew.” This seems tells us that the currency of the society is an overwhelming power that pushes one to do something and defines the view of value for the people.I think this sentence is the perfect description for Carrie and all her stories, every choices she made just show us how suitable this description is for her.Through the heroine, the author tries to reveal the human nature nakedly before our eyes.When Sister Carrie ran out of her sister’s home without any money, she met Drouet and he gave her ten soft dollar bills.On the one hand, she felt ashamed because she has been weak to take it.But on the other hand, her need was so dire, she was still glad.That’s the contradiction of her nature.After she met Hursthood, she was attracted by him.On the one hand, she felt guilty.But on another, she was longing for a better life.And it’s also the same situation when she left Hursthood when he became poor.As for Drouet, the book tells us in regard to his pursuit of women, he meant them no harm, because he did not conceive of the relation which he hoped to hold with them as being harmful.He chased women not because he was a cold-blooded, dark, scheming villain, but because his inborn desire urged him to that as a chief delight.That’s the contradiction of Drouet’s nature.Most people say Sister Carrie’s story is a story of her American dream comes true.But I disagree with it.Carrie does have her dream come true, finally she lives a rich life and is admired by others.But what is American dream? It is a set of ideals in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, and an upward social mobility achieved through hard work.While from the book I can’t see a hardworking girl.When Carrie’s looking for a job, she is so timid and can only see the material things that workers get instead of the pain they bear.After she get a job of making shoes in a factory, she does feel happy at first, but soon facing the easy money from she does want to do this work anymore.Of course, as a girl, in such a society, with such economic situation, she might not have so many choices.But, although Carrie did something not so good, I still can not hate this character.Because she’s so real, she just follows her nature to live her life.She’s beautiful and smart, if she is born in a wealthy family, then she will not depend men to live.But no one can choose where to be born;destiny seems just so unfair sometimes.The most pity thing I think is that although Carrie lives a rich life at last, but she doesn’t find the true meaning of living.But the true meaning of life is always obscure;nobody knows exactly what it is.So why bother to think about it, just live our life good.

第三篇：《嘉莉妹妹》讀后感

西奧多·德萊塞（1871～1945）美國杰出的批判現實主義小說家。1871年8月27日生于印第安納州的特雷霍特鎮，出生于破產小業主家庭，曾長期在社會底層勞動掙扎。1900年，第一部作品《嘉莉妹妹》問世，引起轟動。此書通過農村姑娘嘉莉到芝加哥謀生而成為名演員的故事，揭露了資本主義社會繁榮的表面底下的失業、貧困和饑餓，對美國貧富對立的社會作了深刻的描寫。《嘉莉妹妹》用巴爾扎克式的現實主義寫成為美國文學開創了一個新的天地。它雖在美國被禁，后來卻在英因出版。1907年終于在美國再次出版。

!}2 `(|q4 z!x;}/ ?

無論如何都不算是先鋒人物的德萊塞，在美國文學史上的地位也許就只能顯得這么尷尬。但他卻以藝術的方法表現主人公對女人、宅第和藝術品的追求，旨在表現他崇尚人的本能和享樂，表現他對新興的消費意識形態的贊同和宣傳。在這種意義上說，《嘉莉妹妹》不是對資本主義制度的顛覆，而是對其進行宣傳，因為人們對舒適和享樂的追求無疑會刺激經濟進一步的發展。

此書講的是漂亮而膽小，年輕無知，美麗聰明，愛慕虛榮，對家人故土充滿了留戀之情，對大都市繁華生活的充滿了幻想，嘉莉只身來到芝加哥謀生，去投奔她的姐姐，尋求新的生活。都市耀眼的萬點燈火驅使她登上了去芝加哥的火車，但是她不知道那耀眼的光華掩蓋了多少謊言、謬誤、邪惡和偽善。為了生存先后成了德魯埃、赫斯特伍德的情人，最后因機緣巧合而成了紅級一時的女演員的故事。

有人說，她是個成功者，她在帶著年輕與漂亮只身來到一個全新的城市尋夢中，一步步走向輝煌；有人說，她是個失敗者，她追求的是浮華，更是虛幻，她迷戀的那些男士身上的光圈一旦隱去，她便毫不留情地飛走，最終，她只能自己坐在搖椅里幻想她永不可及的幸福；有人說，她是個禍水，因為她，那位很像紳士的赫斯特伍德身敗名裂、命喪他鄉??

+ e1 c' P]0 |!f, [5 p9 ~0 H

她愛過那個給予她物質享受的德魯埃嗎？沒有，她和德魯埃同居只不過是因為他給她的錢超過了她辛苦賺來的周薪四塊！可她就是惡毒的嗎？當然不是，她本善良，只是善良經不住虛榮的誘惑，為了物質的豐盈，出賣良知，她也在所不惜，這是社會背景造成的，不如此，她的出路就涉茫得近乎于無。C1 ]“ T1 i% d7 ~.@;A

她愛過那個為了她身敗名裂的前經理赫斯特伍德嗎？或許有過，只不過更多的是她用色作了一筆骯臟的交易。本來，她渴慕幸福的婚姻，只是那個為了她攜款私奔的赫斯特伍德并不是真心地愛她，在他們中間，愛是遙遠的，飄渺的。

有人會說“戲子本無情”，可是又是誰造就了所謂的“戲子無情”，是這些戲子們造就了無情，還是無情造就了這樣戲子他們，難道他們不想有情有愛嗎？如果他們無情無愛又怎么能夠把自己的全部感情用在戲中演得栩栩如生，他們只是經歷了太多太多的生活的折磨，無法把自己的真情用于現實生活，無法把自己真愛托于一個人的身上罷了。)w/ ?* {# M+ m4 p, a7 [)Q)o$ X/ W

嘉莉這位天真善良的小姑娘，原本可以生活得更美好，可是得到心中完美的愛情，可是她為了生活的付出使她失去了自己心中的那份真愛，讓自己一直生活在空虛、孤獨之中。結局她能夠紅級一時的女演員，能夠靠自己獨立生活這并不能不說明她的生存力量是無窮的。有人會說既然她有無窮的生存力量又為何當初讓別人來包養，可是又有誰想過一個天真善良的小姑娘孤身來到一個陌生城市生活的可怕，如果她不這么選擇，那她也就只能一直生活在暗無天日的陰暗的工作棚里，每天過著無知無覺的生活罷了，又有誰愿意過這樣的生活呢？(c2 u2 }' l6 q2 m:

她的離開，或許是無情的，可是她真的無情嗎？我想不是的，我想不難看出當初的她對德魯埃、赫斯特伍德是有些愛情的，只是現實的生活不讓她擁有那份愛，那些生活在所謂上流社會中的男人又怎么可能因為她這么一個農村的無知的小姑娘而放棄那些放蕩的生活呢？他們不過是想時不時地換一種口味罷了，讓自己多擁有一件向別人炫耀的物品而已。可是這個初來社會的姑娘不明白這些，她也不想看到自己的窮苦的樣子，更不愿意去過那種生活，她的虛榮之心不容許她再次回到那樣的生活當中去，所以她要改變自己過去的生活，為此而付出自己的青春與肉體。如果當初德魯埃不是看中嘉莉的相貌，那他還會幫助她嗎？如果赫斯特伍德不是因為她的相貌而來爭奪她的話，她又會有如此的成就嗎？我想這些都是不會的，不正是因為這兩個所謂的上層社會的男人讓這位小姑娘擁有了更多的社會經驗嘛，不正是他們才造就了今天的嘉莉嗎？可惜的是嘉莉滿懷希望的打開命運的門，又滿懷信心地穿過它去開另一扇門，她用青春作賭注，賭來的仍舊是滿滿的孤單。社會造就了嘉莉這樣的悲哀，嘉莉自己復制了這樣的悲哀，讓自己一步一步走向生活的深淵，她的遭遇也只能說是她自找的，她為何要輕易相信一個與自己本無多少了解男人的甜言蜜語。e!F' v!w, Y1 [

其實嘉莉的形象、化身在現實的生活中已經變得越來越多，讓人們對她不再有大驚小怪，更不會有太多的關注，誰不希望自己擁有華麗的生活，誰不想自己一夜成名萬事無憂，可是誰又不想擁有自己的那一份真愛，只是現實生活并不能讓我們擁有自己想要的東西，為了生活必須要放棄愛情，大家都知道愛情不能當飯吃，只有愛情是不可能存活在這個世上的，更何況現在的愛情也只不過是一筆交易罷了！要想得到愛情、地位就必須要放棄一些東西，你只有先付出才能夠得到。德魯埃這個秉性溫和、沉靜，富有自信心，喜歡對女人獻殷勤推銷員，他是走遍了大江南北，擁有太多社會經驗的人，如果不是他嘉莉又怎么可能擁有這樣的結局呢？可是他不過把嘉莉看作一個自己人生當中的過客罷了，其實像他這樣

一個男人又怎么可能把真心放在嘉莉身上。我們不難看來這個男人同樣擁有虛榮之心和想讓別人記住自己大恩之人，當初和嘉莉吵架之時，說自己給了她很大的幫助，她應該記住他給予的恩惠，可是到后來嘉莉成名之后，他居然厚著臉去找嘉莉希望她可以重新回到自己的身邊，以便以此來顯示自己是多么地有能力罷了，更何況他去找她并不是真心的，不然的話他又怎么可能在找她的同一天而和別的女人鬼混呢？這更說明了這個男人的虛偽之心。

至于赫斯特伍德這個前酒店經理他是個老于世故、舉止隨和、通達善變的人，可是他同樣也受不了嘉莉美貌這一關，被她那種獨特的吸引力給征服了。可是他的性格卻是由他的職業逐漸形成的，其后果在他緩慢、痛苦而又悲慘的墮落過程始終有著影響。他的結局是最悲哀的，別人過著豐裕的生活，可是自己卻變得越來越糟糕，到最后不得不用死以此來解決自己的生命和悲哀。也可以說他的結局是咎由自取，誰叫他有那貪欲有惡念，因為自己一時的貪欲而毀了自己的一生和前途，更可悲的是他沒有勇氣向自己一時所愛的人坦白心聲，更沒有放下自己的架子來為今后的生活而著想和努力。他的改變是一個男人墮落的經過，想要擁有別人，想過上那些豐裕、上流社會的生活，可是卻又不愿意放下自己的架了，不愿用自己的勞力來賺取面包，可是心中卻又一直放不下自己輝煌的過去，認為自己是最優秀，是應該得到更好的生活，只是機會還沒有到來罷了，只可惜的是他的這種念頭和行為最終毀了自己，他不知道只有自己的努力才能夠得到更好的生活，只有自己放下一切為生活努力才會有機會。最終混到了靠向別人乞討生活的份兒，過著戚戚慘慘的生活，就這樣他的心還是一直沒有把嘉莉給忘記，在自己最困難的時候無法活下去的時候想去乞求她，給他一些活命的錢，開始以愛之心去乞求，后來慢慢變成了恨和憤怒。其實不如說他不知道自己一旦丟掉了自己在芝加哥的社會角色之后，他的悲劇便接踵而至了。

如果一個男人活到了如此地步，我想他還不如不活在這個世上，因為這樣不但給自己丟臉對不起自己的過去，更會給別人增添負擔，可以說他的死也是一種很好的解脫的辦法，最起碼不用出賣自己的勞力，不用再看別人的臉氣，更不用再吃乞求之食了。男人要活就要活得有尊嚴，你自己都不尊敬自己又怎么能夠得到別人的尊重呢？只有放下過去重新開始，努力地為自己的生活奔波努力，以不至于浪費自己在這世上的日子。

朱麗婭這個前經理赫斯特伍德的夫人是個冷酷、自私自利、好嫉妒、愛虛榮的女人，為了自己的權利不惜把自己丈夫趕出家門，其實可以說她嫁給赫斯特伍德并不是有真正的愛，而是為了滿足自己的虛榮心，為了金錢和地位罷了，她是個女人同樣逃脫不了世俗的光暈。至于那個前經理的女兒杰西嘉是個嬌生慣養、虛榮而又沒孝心的貴族小女孩，她們的結局很好，擁有自己所希望的那份有價愛情，讓自己成為了有錢人的妻子與丈母娘。萬斯太太這個年輕漂亮、喜好狂歡、應酬交際、愛看戲的年輕少婦和愛玩的羅拉應是嘉莉的常來往的朋友，有時會給她空虛的內心世界來一滴清泉享受一會的快樂。;on” [4 n-N-X, H1 S9 k8 U5 8 P5 g& U7 t(F: ^)

享受物質生活的嘉莉為什么不幸福呢？任何一個在城市生活的人，都想過富裕的生活，希望自己有房、有車、有存款，為什么得到這些條件的嘉莉不幸福呢？其實，她剛到芝加哥的時候，在火車上，她也是對目前的生活非常執著的向往，真正得到的今天，卻不幸福，感到孤單？

為什么？到底生活最終的目標應該是什么，才能讓人真正感到幸福呢？ 9 r0 o' D$ J;y3 R% F!_0 L, L7 ]0 S2

其實追求高標準、高品位的生活，永遠都不會錯。物質生活的追求需要，但不是目的，人應該過有意義的生活，有真正推心置腹的朋友，有一個和睦溫馨的家，有自己的責任和義務，這樣的生活，才是幸福的。# [4 l/ I+ I" a3 D6 a.@

艾姆斯這個小伙子對一切獨特的見解吸引著嘉莉，但她不會因為此而越過雷池，她對自己的生活和大都市都已經有了太多的了解有了豐富的社會經驗，不再會輕易地獻出自己的愛，但也可以說是這個小伙子讓嘉莉去用心體味更多書中的內容、故事和情感，讓自己生活在一片書的海洋之中，讓自己在書中得到安慰。

在這個世界上，要想做成功一件事，就需要你為此付出一些珍貴的東西，同樣也需要勇氣，富裕的生活誰都想擁有，可是這種富裕的生活真的誰都能夠擁有嘛！我想這是不可能的，如果人人都如此富裕的話，那又有誰來顯示這些人的富裕生活呢？物質的追求是不可避免的，但它卻并不是萬能的，擁有豐富的它我們可以生活，沒有豐富的它我們同樣也能生活，不要因為物質的利益而蒙蔽了自己的心，不要因為追求物質的利益而放棄了自己有意的生活。對人、對事要用自己的一片真心，要用自己的真情去對待，只有這樣才能活出自己來，才能讓自己不至于在此世上白走一回。

其實人活著的時間說長不長，說短也不短，就看你是如何生活的，人的心死與孤獨、寂寥和只追求物質的生活才是最苦的。除了表面的東

西以外，我們還有許多的內在東西需要追求，我們為何不能夠合理地追求這些，讓自己成為一個真正地活人呢？

第四篇：《嘉莉妹妹》讀后感

前幾天，媽媽為我買了一本《嘉莉妹妹》，讀了它，我仿佛對社會有了一定的了解。它告訴我：現實社會是非常殘酷的，沒有我想象中的那樣簡單，它是一個非常復雜的東西。不信？那就讓我們一起走進嘉莉妹妹的生活中去吧。

書中塑造了這樣一個人物，描述了這樣一個故事：嘉莉懷著對大城市物質生活的向往，獨自離家闖蕩。首先，她住在表姐敏妮家，嘗盡苦衷。后來，她以自己的美貌博得了推銷員杜洛埃的愛慕，成為他的情婦，逐漸變成了一個揮金如土的闊太太。又由于更大的誘惑跟著酒店經理赫斯渥私奔，由于當時失業的人居多，赫斯渥的酒店也散伙了，工作難找，于是晃蕩在家，想靠著嘉莉掙的微薄工資來維持生活。在一次偶然的機會中，嘉莉竟然成了走紅的演員，倍受關注，薪水豐厚，擠進了上流社會，并拋棄了家庭逐漸貧困的赫斯渥，以不自覺地殘忍將他推上了絕望之路。

故事揭露了資本主義社會繁榮表面底下的失業、貧困和饑餓，對美國貧富對立的社會作了深刻的描寫。只有有本事的人將來才能有所作為，才有膽量跟別人競爭，才可能有豐厚的薪水，不至于失業。天啊，現實社會就是那么殘酷！知識，是一筆無法掂量的財富，也是一筆無形的財富，成功之神絕不會把燦爛的霞光灑向想不勞而獲的人，而給那些有知識，有膽識的人。我堅信，如果你有了一定的知識和膽識，是絕對會得到成功之神的眷顧的！

謹記：不爭饅頭爭口氣，將來好要靠自己。我以后一定好好學習，天天向上，做一個有知識，有膽識的人；更要做一個對社會有用的人。今天是祖國的花朵，明天成為祖國的棟梁。

第五篇：《嘉莉妹妹》讀后感

《嘉莉妹妹》讀后感1

《嘉莉妹妹》主要講嘉莉長得美貌過人，還有些鋒芒畢露的敏感，但對身邊的一切際遇卻顯得相當被動，她首先以自己的美貌博得了推銷員杜洛的愛慕，成為她的情人，不久又由于更大的欲望而跟隨酒店經理赫斯渥私奔。在偶然的機會里，嘉莉竟又成了走紅的演員，擠進上流社會，并以不自覺的殘忍將赫斯渥推上了絕望，她對自己的欠缺可謂無知只是天真的沉浸在自己追求的生活和幻想中，無法想象別人怎么樣去生活。

讀完這本小說，我對文中女主人公嘉莉的虛榮心感到了無奈，虛榮心人人都有，因為每個人都有追求美好的幻想，但是很多人卻不知道怎樣才能去實現自己的夢想，經驗只有一句話——磨難是人生必備經歷。人只有經過磨難，才能得到收獲。就拿我爸爸來說吧。我爸爸是農村里的，他小時候早上3、4點鐘起來種地放牛、掏大糞，直到晚上才能點微弱的煤油燈，在細小的燈光下看書、寫字，有時家里實在沒油了，還得偷偷的跑出家門在路燈底下看書。

這種磨難使爸爸有一種不同平常人的堅強的毅力，最后爸爸憑著自己的堅強意志考上了研究生，這不就是美好的回報嗎?現在我們這個社會的人都只盼望著不勞而獲，盼望著有一天不費吹灰之力去過富人家的生活，這根本就是不可能實現的。現在，我想真心的對所有人說：“這個世界根本不會存在不勞而獲，只會存在靠自己的磨難來獲得成果。”

《嘉莉妹妹》讀后感2

十八歲的嘉莉離開了自己的父母和家鄉，到芝加哥找姐姐，謀求一份適合自己的工作，到芝加哥，工作十分不順，付完每周的住宿費后，只有五美分的利用空間，而這些并沒有擋住她對大城市的紅燈酒綠，富人生活的誘惑。

這個故事描述的是十九世紀末的美國成都市，文中的嘉莉就像是現在中國社會中許許多多離開家鄉的打工妹，不同的是嘉莉的才華或許真的很高，她的運氣也十分的好，她最后的結局也如電影那樣美好，但是平心而論，成功的機會太少，真的幾乎不可能出現，就像第一章中的一句話，一個好孩子十八歲離家出門，結局只有兩種之一，要么遇到好人搭救而越變越好，要么很快接受了大都市道德標準而越變越壞。我認為是她并沒有錯，表面上她可以選擇。文中的一句話讓我記憶深刻，有朝一日，某個女人應該就是這個專題撰寫哲學論文。不管她多么年輕。衣著打扮一事她總是完全懂得，品評男人服飾時候，有一條幾乎看不見的'界限她能在男人中間區分出來，哪些值得她看上一眼，而哪些根本不屑一顧。一個男人的一旦滑到了這條幾乎看不見的界限以下，那就休想得到婦人的青睞。男人的服飾還有另一條界限，可使女人琢磨她自己的衣著打扮。

這句話中字里行間充滿了物質，我想社會是物質的，只有人在社會物質上面，才會做社會中美好的公益。《嘉莉妹妹》我并沒有讀完，也希望在讀完時會有新體會。

《嘉莉妹妹》讀后感3

在假期里，《嘉莉妹妹》這本書是名著，在文章中有許多的道理和人生哲理。這本書使我受益匪淺。這本書的作者是美國著名的現實主義作家——西奧多·德萊塞。

這本書主要講了：嘉莉十八歲那年她就獨自一人從自己的家鄉離開，去往芝加哥生活。她向往物質生活，所以才離開家鄉的。

她的姐姐敏妮住在芝加哥公寓的凡步侖街，嘉莉去姐姐家住。她姐姐家很簡陋房間的墻是拼湊的紙糊，顏色很不協調。地板上鋪的是草席，只有起居室鋪了一塊薄薄的破地毯。嘉莉在姐姐家的附近找了自己能干的一份工作，她自己長的很漂亮，推銷員杜洛埃很喜歡她，所以嘉莉變成了杜洛埃的情婦。但是后來嘉莉又由于更大的誘惑，跟隨自己住的酒店里的經理赫斯渥私奔。

在一次很好的機會中，嘉莉竟然辦成了走紅的演員，在上流的社會中，完成了她的愿望。讓赫斯渥陷入貧困，并又殘忍的把他推上了絕路。

讀完這本書，我覺得嘉莉只是沉浸在自己追求的生活和想象之中，她從未替別人著想過。她的這種性格是由于貧困所造成的。自己一無所有，卻只是期求這幸福。
