Conclusion 

Elderly Sara Goldfarb, her son Harry, his girlfriend Marion, and his 

best friend Tyrone are all searching for their own version of the 
American Dream. Sara, who wants to be on television, grows addicted 
to diet pills. Harry, Marion, and Tyrone, all heroin users, buy a large 
amount of heroin and plan to sell it at a huge profit to fund their 
respective dreams.
 
As expected, their addictions interfere with their plans, and they turn 
against one another. The novel ends with each character‟s life in ruins. 
Sara receives electroshock therapy after addiction pushes her to 
insanity; Harry loses an arm after frequent heroin injections cause an 
infection; Tyrone goes to jail, where being a black man makes him the 
target of abuse; and Marion becomes a prostitute to support her habit.
