| My Ántonia | comment |
My Ántonia, published in 1918, is one of the most famous works of American novelist Willa Cather. The novel is written in the form of a fictional memoir. It is narrated by Jim Burden who tells a story of an immigrant girl called Ántonia. Jim and Ántonia quickly became friends and grew up together on their farms in Nebraska.In part, the novel is inspired by Willa Cather’s life as she, like her character Jim, moved to Nebraska when she was ten, and she based many of the events, characters, and settings of the book on her own experiences. The novel forms a sort of "trilogy" with two other prairie novels, O Pioneers! (1913) and The Song of the Lark (1915).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })My Ántonia is sometimes considered an early modernist work. For its time and context, My Ántonia pressed the boundaries of traditional narrative techniques and contemporary literature. Its narrative structure is built from anecdotes and episodes, and time periods are often skipped or just brushed upon.My Ántonia is also interesting from the perspective of gender issues. It is written by a woman but narrated by a man while the central character is a young woman. Additionally, its characters are nothing like common gender stereotypes – women are strong, physically fit and active, whereas men in the book are generally more passive or even weak. Willa Cather wrote about everyday people and the book explores lives of the early white settlers of the American West. | |

| My Ántonia / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: Ántonia is a lovely, active girl who has faced more than a fair share of troubles—severe winters in poverty, her father's suicide, working in the fields like a man, taking care of her younger siblings, escaping a rapist (though her gut feeling prevented her from being attacked), her fiancé's abandonment, becoming a single mother (which was stigmatizing)—but she remains unbroken. What a girl. What a woman. | |

Aerith and Bob: Tiny Sodderball among other normal-sounding American names. Ántonia is not all that common in America, but it was a very common Czech name for girls of that time. | |
