Description
1. INTRODUCTION The range of Theodore Dreiser's work is diverse: he wrote poems, essays, sketches and short stories, but is most famous for his novels. Influenced by his early career as a journalist, he wrote stories about actual events and his work described American life at the beginning of twentieth century. His understanding of and feeling for American life were acute. Dreiser wrote, "The extent of all reality is the realm of the author's pen, and a true picture of life, honestly and reverentially set down, is both moral and artistic whether it offends the conventions or not."(2) Dreiser aims to include all aspects of social reality in his novels. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Britain, France, the United States, and Germany became the most developed countries in terms of industrialization. As a result of industrialization and urbanization, cities turned into metropolises and society gradually changed into a "consumer society."(3) At the same time people attained more purchasing power to possess what they desired among the dazzling display of commodities. In order to tempt people to buy, admen usually exaggerated the advantages of their goods through deceptive acts. The dramatic development of the industrialized society inflamed people's endless desires for more things besides commodities, such as money, social status and affection. Desire enslaves people and forces people to act deceptively in their social lives in order to gratify their desires.
