Maggie Johnson Timeline and Summary

Maggie is a "small ragged girl" (2.2) living in a seriously jacked tenement with alcoholic parents who abuse her and her brothers. Needless to say, the kids spend a lot of time trembling in corners.
Maggie's "thin, white" (3.30) face blossoms to the best of its ability—she seems to have transcended the ugly realities of her surroundings. Miracle.
Enter Pete into the tenement and into Maggie's life.
Maggie cannot keep her eyes off of Pete, and is convinced he's the answer to all of her troubles.
He's such a hunk, he never loses a fight, he's unafraid of the law, and he has money to do things.
Maggie wonders what he eats and how rich he is, while also appreciating how dumpy her own life is.
Pete asks Maggie out, and—duh—she's game.
Maggie starts going to a lot of dance halls and theaters. Pete wants some love, but she's not down.
She's hooked, or as Crane puts it, "Swaggering Pete loomed like a golden sun to Maggie" (8.12).
Jimmie and Mom catch on to Maggie's torrid affair, resulting in Maggie getting tossed into the streets.
Maggie is now pursuing Pete—he's her only hope, really—but he bails on her.
Maggie returns home, only to be kicked out again, so she hits the streets.
No one will have her there either, though, and she heads for the river.
Jimmie reports Maggie's death to his mother.
