Elmer Rice, a well-known American activist and playwright of the twentieth century, wrote more than 50 drama productions throughout his life. His writing themes covered almost all the social concerns and real contradictions of the time. Rice’s Street View, a masterpiece of social issues, has been hailed as one of the classic examples of American realism in the twentieth century. The depiction of the tragedy between Ruth’s parents reveals the persecution of the environment and the indifference between people and demonstrates the desolation, coldness and ignorance of the life of the lower-class Americans. Ruth, as a new generation of young people who live in her, has its own unique and complex character, which makes the expression of the theme of the drama more fullness. This article combines the script detailed analysis of Ruth’s character, then a brief analysis of the many factors that led to her personality, such as: social environment, family environment and their own factors.
