An American Tragedy: The Alienation of Human Nature of the Protagonist

An American Tragedy , through depicting the fall of a young man enslaved to money, lust and social position to the point of losing his good conscience and murdering his girlfriend, ruthlessly condemns extreme egotism based on the libido for pleasure. The novel tries to put across to the reader that after the loss of ideals and faith, at the temptation of material wealth and lust, and under the manipulation of politics, a person's struggle up the social ladder leads to nothing but the alienation of his human nature, nothing but the ruin of himself.
