Jennie is kind and beautiful; however, she is doomed to be abandoned because of the social environment, religious belief and her own character. This paper consists of five chapters. Chapter One presents a brief introduction to Theodore Dreiser and his masterpiece Jennie Gerhardt. Chapter Two introduces the definition of tragedy and Theodore Dreiser’s tragic style. Chapter Three explores Jennie’s tragedy. Chapter Four analyzes the reasons for Jennie’s tragedy. The social environment, people’s religious belief and her character all lead to her tragic fate. And the last chapter is the conclusion.
