Consumer culture refers to the summation of consumption concept, consumption mode, consumption behavior and consumption environment in material and spiritual production, social life and consumption life, in which consumerism mainly means that people have no scruples. The unrestrained behavior of consuming material wealth and natural resources, as well as the view that consumption is the highest purpose of life, is the most important document in Sister Carrie, which embodies the culture of consumption everywhere. In today's society, the characteristics of sister Carrie's times have not disappeared, and the shadow of sister Carrie and other figures are still everywhere, so it is of certain practical significance to analyze < sister Carrie] from the perspective of consumer culture. This article starts with the consumption culture, This paper focuses on the three aspects: 1, the characteristics of consumer culture in the age of sister Carrie, the influence of consumer culture on the character formation of sister Carrie, and the influence of consumer culture on other characters in Sister Carrie.
