Theodore Dreiser is one of those great American novelists and playwrights who appeared in the world of drama in the first decades of the Twentieth century. His ideas on life, death and society are unique; and the way he treats poor and the abnormal, all provide very valuable insight into the works of such a great novelist and playwright. Dreiser’s drama is a very special one that criticizes the society and its laws for ignoring and not considering its own people. In his plays, Dreiser clearly shows how society is unjust, and how people are condemned and sacrificed in such a society.
