Carrie

His unflinching portrayal of her ambitions and disappointments feels very raw. I wonder what motivated him to focus so much on social critique through her story.

Her desire for a better life is relatable, but her decisions sometimes felt selfish or naive. It made me wonder how much of her downfall was her own fault versus societal pressure.

Carrie’s journey seems to expose the illusions of upward mobility. I’m curious whether the book is a critique or a warning about chasing success at any cost.
