Cather did seem to admire Antonia for her characteristics. Antonia exhibited
three strong characteristics: resilient, kindhearted, and loyal. She was resilient in
several ways. For example, Antonia was pregnant as she was deserted at the altar
from her fiancé, Larry Donovan. Bearing a child out of wedlock and raising it alone is
shameful according to Black Hawk standards. Instead of her hating the world and
her fatherless baby, she gathers herself by staying positive and raising the baby
proudly and loving the baby. She fights through adversity and soon marries a
kindhearted man named Anton Cuzak. They ended up living on a large farm and
having eleven children, loving each and every one of them unconditionally and with
a kind heart.
