'Free, and other stories' Summary
The stories in "Free, and Other Stories" reflect Dreiser's belief that individuals are shaped by forces beyond their control, and that their lives are often marked by suffering and disappointment. The title story, "Free," follows the story of a young woman who escapes from an abusive marriage only to find herself trapped in a cycle of poverty and prostitution. Other stories in the collection explore similar themes of social injustice, economic hardship, and the powerlessness of individuals in the face of a seemingly indifferent universe.Book Details
