The narrative follows the intersecting lives of several characters as they navigate the fierce competition and moral dilemmas that arise from their involvement in the trading of wheat futures. Norris's writing style is characterized by its realism and attention to detail, drawing readers into the gritty and tense atmosphere of the trading pit. The novel is considered a prime example of American naturalism, showcasing the impact of economic forces on human behavior. Frank Norris, known for his powerful portrayal of societal issues, was influenced by the economic transformations happening during the Gilded Age. Through 'The Pit,' Norris sheds light on the ruthless nature of capitalism and its effects on individuals from different social backgrounds.
