This article aims to illuminate Clyde Griffiths as a Victim of Society Milieu in Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy. Theodore Dreiser is a naturalist- writer. Throughout his major novels, Dreiser reiterates the story of individuals swayed by their biological instincts and desires, buffeted by the ill-favored and irresistible environment, and dominated by the winds of chance. The naturalist theory is this: men are conditioned and dominated by environment, instinct, or chance. So, it is hard for a man to succeed, for he is doomed to destroy in spite of his effort. In An American Tragedy, it can be seen that Dreiser created a hero, Clyde Griffiths, who is helpless and impotent. Clyde plunges into the social environment, looking for the American dream, but he is helplessly destroyed by it and he does not know the reason why he should die in that same social environment. Clyde is not only driven by his desire to achieve wealth and social position; he is also driven by ‘chemism’ of the sexual impulse. In this novel, Dreiser combined his conception of the individual as a seeking, hungering mechanism of desire with an indictment of those aspects of American society that encouraged greed, the lust for power, and social and economic inequality.
