At the bottom of the deepest ocean, there exists a distinguished sect of people. They live without heat or light, in the darkest and most infamous abyss in the world. They drown forever. An occult force quietly sips their souls, savoring every drop. He savors the fine, sweet nectar of innocence as it flows fluidly down his throat, soothing his taste buds but never quenching his desire for more. This mystical being extracts the cherubic innocence from a child's laughter before it even has a chance to dance on his lips. However, he lives in the souls of children; it is engraved in their bones, an intrinsic quality passed down from generation to generation. It works from within to pit each person against each other, to make them strive for a life of wealth and happiness. The victims don't know that it doesn't matter if they achieve the life they aspire for. The battle is just an illusion. Whether they achieve this fantasy or not, they will live a life devoid of any happiness or love, because the demon within will continue to soak up their joy. He will mercilessly consume this sweet nectar until he pillages every drop. This ambrosia is the only hope for the victims of Stephen Crane's Bowery in Maggie: A Girl of the Streets. Once that hope is gone, his Bowery's victims are condemned to a life of dependence and despair. The existence and power of the lurking beast are unknown to the rest of the world. There is no way to save its victims because their destitution is invisible to those who have the ability to rescue them from the seabed. There is no way to save these pitiful victims from the depths of the ocean, for the evil spirit lurking within their souls is too strong for anyone to defeat. Crane frees the...... middle of paper ...... forgets the real world and thus fails in it. They become dependent on these pensions and die as soon as the withdrawal occurs. The victims of the Bowery try to fight the current with which the demon of the Bowery oppresses them. However, swimming against the tide is impossible because they do not believe they can achieve their end goal. Moreover, they do not see where they want to go because no light of hope reaches them. Without the intervention of richer and more successful individuals, there is no way these deprived beings will be able to emerge from the depths of their naivety, corruption and misinterpretations. These people will always be present in society; it's just up to people like Crane to recognize them. The ideas of naturalism will remain reality if the poor and the interventionists do not restrain and overcome the beast that drinks the hope of its prey..
