Abstract

Ever since the publication of Theodore Dreiser’s novel Sister Carrie, the mystique of Carrie’s desire has been the center of critical debate. This thesis aims to provide a Lacanian reading of Sister Carrie, and argues that the dual images of Carrie as subject of desire and object of desire have caused the controversial readings of her desire.
