Asked by Wiki User

The theme of My Antonia is the relationship between Jim and Antonia and how it changes. For example,

· "Nowadays Tony could talk of nothing but the prices of things, or how much she could lift and endure. She was too proud of her strength… I saw her come up the furrow, shouting to her beasts, sunburned, sweaty, her dress open at the neck, and her throat and chest dust-plastered…" (Cather 78)

means that

Ántonia drastically (physically and mentally) because of the tough prairie farm work, led to distanced relationship between Jim changed and Ántonia

Pioneers & immigrants have to work hard to survive

in addition,

· "'Why do you all the time try to be like Ambrosch?' 'If I live here, like you, that is different. Things will be easy for you. But they will be hard for us.'" (Cather 86)

is

Jim asking Ántonia a question; more difficult for foreigners, so they must act rude/tough to seem less inferior

Ántonia and Jim's different social classes and Ántonia's altered mindset affect their relationship

When reading My Antonia from a feminist perspective what will readers pay attention to?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Willa Cather firmly established a dominant place for herself in the early feminist movement with her ode to the brave and sturdy pioneer women in â??My Antoniaâ??. Not only did the book bring to the forefront the contributions of these women, but also included comments on women rights as well as slightly hidden sexual metaphors throughout the text.
