THE HEADING OF THIS ARTICLE COMES FROM A FAMOUS CONTROVERSIAL NOVEL: SISTER CARRIE (1900) Chapter XLII, BY THEODORE DREISER. This novel WAS POSSIBLY MORE RISQUE THAN THE EUROPEANS AND ENGLISH NOVELS AT THE TIME. IT WAS ABOUT PURSUING THE "AMERICAN DREAM"... WHO KNOWS WHAT THIS ILLUSION IS ON A GREATER PLANE THAN ORDINARY HAPPINESS AND DECENT COMPANIONSHIP?...

.... As Hurstwood gradually sinks into apathy, Carrie becomes a chorus girl through her good looks. While he deteriorates further, she rises from the chorus line to small roles. Her performance as a minor, non-speaking character, a frowning Quakeress, greatly amuses the audience and makes the play a hit. She is befriended by another chorus girl, Lola Osborne, who urges Carrie to become her roommate. In a final attempt to earn money, Hurstwood becomes a scab, driving a Brooklyn streetcar during a streetcar operator's strike. His ill-fated venture lasts only two days, ending after a couple of violent encounters with the strikers. Carrie, unaware of Hurstwood's reason for quitting, leaves him.

Hurstwood ultimately becomes one of the homeless of New York, taking odd jobs, falling ill with pneumonia, and finally becoming a beggar. He ultimately commits suicide in a flophouse. Carrie achieves stardom, but finds that, even with fame and fortune, she is lonely and unhappy.
