Theodore Dreisers first novel, Sister Carrie, actually reflects the consumption craze prevalent in America during this era as well as the resultant change of peopled ideology. This thesis tries to make a research of the reflection of consumer culture in Sister Carrie and its influence for individual as well as the whole American society. The introductory part introduces the background of the author, Theodore Dreiser; a brief review of the research achievements on Sister Carrie and on consumer culture at home and abroad. And then ,it further illustrates the reason and significance for choosing this topic .The body of the thesis includes two chapters. Chapter One introduces consumer culture, followed by a review of the emergence of modern consumer culture in America as well as its reflections in Sister Carrie. Whats more, how is consumption desire stimulated by the needs of society at that time and the tragic resultdisillusionment brought by consumption. Chapter Two discusses the The Features of Material Consumption, Emotion Consumption and Body Consumption in Sister Carrie. Influenced by consumer culture, women at that time are eager to be a consumer in their own ways,which breaks the traditional female identity as mother and wifeas Carriers sister Minnie. It also focuses on the relationship between Carrie and Drouet and Carrie and Mr. Hurstwoods , and the relationship between Mr. Hurstwood and his family as well as the relationship between Carrie and her sisters family under the context of consumer culture which further explains the indifference and cruelty of consumer culture to all kinds of relationships, while the same time explains womerTs dilemma during their pursuit of self-development in amale-dominated consumer societythey want to be consumers with relatively high social status whereas they are consumed by men at the same time.The Conclusion part summarizes the main idea. Consumer culture and consumption ideology are thoroughly showed in this novel. However, consumption in this novel is actually a kind of flamboyant consumption to prove one?s social status and identity, as well as prestige and honor brought by status. Carrie ultimately becomes a victim of consumption. Her life direction is mainly drawn by the strong desire of consumption; and to some extent, this desire decides her ultimate fate.Key words:consumer culture; material consumption; emotional consumption; body consumption; ideology 111AcknowledgmentsMy heartfelt gratitude is, first of all, delivered to my supervisor Professor Xu Tingting, for her unselfish and incisive guidance and professional advice in my study for Bachelor Degree, and for her elaborate reading and correcting of my earlier manuscript as well as her constant encouragement and guidance during the process of writing this thesis.
