and accomplishment of the final draft passed thirty-one years. Dreiser’s serious attitude towards writing is very instructive, which is distinct from unfaithfulness in literary circles around the globe today. According to some American critics, Dreiser was very sympathetic, instead of being sarcastic, while portraying one of the protagonists Solon Barnes, a bank cashier who is the “bulwark” of traditional moral norms; this is among distinctions of this book and pointing out this is meaningful. It’s not difficult to comprehend why the writer is not sarcastic if we understand that the fall of a “family”, a “bulwark” of traditional standards in the wave of market economy is actually another featured American tragedy; and moreover, this tragedy is highly likely to occur in any urban and rural areas under shock of this wave in nations around the world.

The materialization of spousal relationship as well as the amount of money is the only criteria to measure both side of the marriage, which caused the fragile of marriage. Parent-child relationship is also named inter-generational ethical relation. In the family ethical relations, the relationship between parents and children is the most important part. The parents bring up the children and care for the children, and they also want to be loved and respected by children. Nevertheless, for the influence of consumerism culture, both parents and children gradually measure each other with material criteria, such a utilitarianism value makes the parents and children face more conflicts.
