The novelty of this work: Clyde takes Roberta in a canoe along an imaginary Great Bitter Lake in the Adirondacks (a model from Great Elk Lake in New York) and lines up in a secluded cove. He freezes. Sensing that something is wrong, Roberta moves towards him and he unwittingly hits her in the face with the camera, causing her to trip and accidentally capsize the boat. Not knowing how to swim, Roberta drowns, and Clyde swims ashore, not wanting to save her. Legend has it that the blow was accidental, but the panic and clear evidence left behind by the guilty Clyde point to murder.
Theoretical value Local officials want to accuse Clyde of providing additional evidence against him, but he constantly blames himself for his confusing and conflicting instructions. Clyde leads a stormy trial before a panel of unscrupulous and unfair judges, mostly from religious conservative peasants.
Theoretical and methodological foundations of the case: Despite a strong (and false) defense by two lawyers hired by his uncle, Clyde was found guilty, sentenced to death, and electrocuted after the appeal was denied . Prison scenes and Clyde's correspondence with his mother are examples of pathos in modern literature.


CHAPTER I. Theodore Dreiser American Writer
1.1. The life and work of Theodor Dreiser
Theodore Dreiser (born August 27, 1871, Terre Haute , Indiana, USA; December 28, 1945, Hollywood, California ) is a writer and prominent figure in American naturalism . He was a leading figure in the national literary movement, replacing his adherence to Victorian morality with his relentless presentation of real themes. Among other things, his novels are devoted to new social problems arising in America, where industry is booming.
Dreiser was the ninth of 10 surviving children in the family, and his poverty over the years forced him to move frequently between Indiana and Chicago to make ends meet. His father, a German immigrant, was a hard-working miller and was mostly a member of the rigid and narrow Roman Catholic Church ¹. The kind and compassionate air of his mother came from her Czech Mennonites. In later life, Dreiser strongly associated religion with the inefficiency of his father and the material deprivation of the family, but he always spoke and wrote about his mother with boundless love. Dreiser's tragic experience of poverty in his youth, his desire for wealth and success became the main theme of his novels, and the tragedies of his early siblings gave him additional material to substantiate his main characters.
Education in church and public schools was limited to one year (1889-1890) at Indiana University. He began his career in 1892 as a newspaper reporter in Chicago and worked on the East Coast. In an 1894 article for the Pittsburgh Gazette, he read the works of the scientists T. H. Huxley and John Tyndall and accepted the suggestions of the philosopher Herbert Spencer. Through these readings and his own experience, Dreiser believed that human instincts and unrelated social forces were powerless, and viewed human society as an unequal rivalry between the strong and the weak. In 1894 Dreiser moved to New York where he worked for several newspapers and magazines. He married Sarah White in 1898, but her intense love (and consequent infidelity) ruined their relationship. The couple finally divorced in 1912.
a novel by Sister Kerry at the suggestion of a newspaper colleague. Doubleday, Page, and The Company published it the following year, thanks to the enthusiasm of the company's writing student Frank Norris. But Doubleday's dissatisfaction with the book is due to the fact that the young curator got rid of the "dirt" of the storyline, because of which the publisher limited advertising of the book and therefore less than 500 copies were sold ². This dissatisfaction and the accumulation of marital and family problems led Dreiser to a suicidal depression, and from this depression he was rescued in 1901 by Paul Dresser, the famous songwriter who organized Theodore's sanitarium treatment. Dreiser revived his spirit, and over the next nine years, she achieved great financial success as editor-in-chief of several women's magazines. In 1910, he was forced to resign due to office confusion due to his romantic interest in his assistant daughter.
Kerry , and the novel's republisher in America, returned to fiction. Jenny Gerhardt's second novel (1911) , about a woman having sex with rich and powerful men to help her poor family, inspired her. The first two volumes of the predicted new trilogy are based on the life of American transportation magnate Charles T. Yerkes, Sister Kerry (1912) and later Titan (1914). Dreiser recorded his travels in Europe in The Forty Travelers (1913). In Daho, his next major novel (1915), he turned his life and numerous love affairs into a semi-autobiographical chronicle that was condemned by the New York Vice Presidents' Society. There were 10 years of uninterrupted literary activity during which Dreiser created the short story collection Empty and Other Stories (1918); The book of essays " The Twelve Men " (1919); philosophical essays, Hey-Rub-a-Dub-Dub (1920); New York Rhapsodic Description of "Colours of the Big City" (1923); dramatic works, including " Natural and Unnatural Plays" (1916) and The Potter's Hand (1918); autobiographical works " Hushi Holiday " (1916) and "My Book" (1922).
In 1925, Dreiser's first novel of the last decade, ³Sister Carrie, was published., was published on the basis of a well-known murder case . This book gave Dreiser a major commercial success that he will never achieve and never will again. The book's critical approach to the American legal system also made her an outspoken proponent of social reform. Interference for various reasons weakened his literary potential. His visit to the Soviet Union in 1927 drew dubious criticism from communist society, dubbed Dreiser's View of Russia (1928). Her other important publications in the late 1920s were earlier collections of short stories and essays: " Chains" (1927) and "The Women's Gallery" (1929), and her unsuccessful poetry collections Moods, Cadenzas and Recitations (1926).
