What issues in the book causes you to think most in the book?

This question requires your opinion, as mine will likely differ. I've always found it difficult to see how easily Carrie was manipulated by the men in the story and how easily she accepted her role in exchange for a home and things. There's also the question of the money Hurstwood takes (steals) and his involving Carrie, while she remains unquestioning and ignorant.
