德莱塞以波澜壮阔的社会画面为背景,采用大量细节塑造人物,将凶手犯罪的前因后果及其复杂矛盾的内心世界栩栩如生地展现在读者眼前。小说主要故事虽以切斯特一案为原型,在某种程度上本来带有推理小说的一些特点,但是,可以肯定,德莱塞的兴趣重点,并不在于案件的侦破,而是在于研究当时美国之梦的一个受害者。当时美国社会上,确实有许多青年人,特别是那些出身低微、家境贫困的穷小子,无不梦想在社会上出人头地,或者一夜之间突然发迹,成为百万富翁,或者痴心妄想,有朝一日能高攀上富家女,有钱有势,享尽荣华富贵。

An American Tragedy?

Theodore Dreiser shows the readers vividly the causes and the murderer's complex psychological activities through spectacular social background and detailed discription to the characters. The novel is based on the Chester? Case and be characterized as a detective noval. However, it's safe to say that Dreiser is interested in studying a victim of the "American Dream" at that time, instead of the practices of the case itself. In Dreiser's age, there were many young people from lower and poorer class that wanted to rise up in the society by accidentally getting money or by marrying a rich girl, and then enjoyed the wealth and power they brought to them.
