In Cather’s book ‘My Antonia’, she writes through the eyes of Jim Burden. Cather, throughout the book, expresses her admiration for Antonia’s charisma and tenacity with Jim’s ongoing inquisition about Antonia. One characteristic that Jim writes about that expresses his admiration for Antonia, was her harmony with her friends and close acquaintances. Any person who got to know Antonia loved her willingness to work and care for the less fortunate.
“I could not imagine Antonia’s living for a week in any other house in Black Hawk than the Harling’s. They loved children and animals and music, and rough play and digging in the earth. They ridiculed conceited people and were quick to help unfortunate ones.”[Cather, 1994, p. 88].
