In Chapter Three, the author illustrates Carrie's love of fine things as she walks through the department store where she intends to ask for a job and finds herself staring at all the fine clothing and jewelry on display. This foreshadows a time when Carrie will find herself in a position to buy such things after making a moral choice that will change her life forever.
