Abstract: “American Dream” often appears as the theme in American literature. The novel Sister Carrie, written by Theodore Dreiser, mainly describes Carrie’s pursuit of “American Dream” and the disillusionment of Carrie’s American Dream. Through the analysis of Carrie’s American Dream, the disillusionment of American Dream and the causes of the disillusionment, this thesis aims to point out that the American Dream looks beautiful, but in fact it is not reliable, just like the foam of soap. Therefore, Carrie’s disillusionment of the American Dream is inevitable.
Key words: American Dream; Carrie; disillusionment
