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. 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.”
