Reading Workshop: Literary Analysis of a Novel

DIRECTIONS The central figures of Willa Cather’s My Antonia are its American-born narrator, Jim Burden, and his close childhood friend Antonia Shimerda, a Bohemian immigrant to Nebraska. Their differ- ences become a major theme of the novel. Read the following passage to discover some of those differences.

A Study in Contrasts: The Characters of Jim Burden and

Antonia Shimerda in the Novel My Antonia

Jim and Antonia come to the Nebraska plain

from different places in the social hierarchy and

from different parts of the world. Orphaned at the

age of ten, Jim leaves his parents’ Virginia home to

live with his grand- parents on their comfortable

Nebraska farm. Arriving in America from Bohemia

with her family, fourteen-year-old Antonia faces

linguistic and cultural barriers as well as ethnic

tensions common to first-generation pioneer

immigrants. Early in her friendship with Jim,

Antonia highlights their differences. “Things will

be easy for you,” she tells Jim, “but they will be

hard for us” (140).

That Jim will attend school is a given. When he

invites Antonia to join him at the country school,

she refuses because of her responsibilities on the

farm. “I ain’t got time to learn,” she tells him.

“School is all right for little boys. I help make this

land one good farm” (123). Although Antonia says

that she admires her father’s learning, she takes

pride in her work on the farm.

Jim attends high school and college. The

summer before he enters law school, he returns to

his hometown and pays a visit to Antonia. She asks

Jim about life in the city. “I’d always

be miserable in a city,” she tells him. “I’d die of

lonesomeness. I like to be where I know every stack

and tree, and where all the ground is friendly. I want

to live and die here” (320).

Revisiting Nebraska, Jim feels “the old pull of

the earth, the solemn magic that comes out

of those fields at nightfall. I wished I could be a little boy again,

and that my way could end there” (322). Jim still seems to be

searching for the emotional significance of his childhood

experiences, whereas Antonia cherishes her memories without

Jim’s romantic longing for the past. “Ain’t it wonderful, Jim,

how much people can mean to each other?” she says before they

part (363). “You’ll always remember me when you think about

old times, won’t you?” (364).

Twenty years after this visit, Jim returns to spend a day

and night with Antonia and her family. He contrasts his

unsatisfactory adult- hood with Antonia’s apparent fulfillment

as a farmer’s wife and mother of many children. He sees that

Antonia is grounded in something strong and permanent,

whereas his life is marked by constant travel. In spite of

material successes, he has failed to find happiness either in his

marriage or in his career as a lawyer for a railroad company.

Jim begins to understand the emotional significance of their differences, of their experiences together,

and of his rich childhood. Tracing his steps on the road that he

and Antonia traveled as children, Jim has “the sense of

coming home to myself, and of having found out what a little

circle man’s experience is. For Antonia and for me, this had

been theroad of Destiny; had taken us to those early accidents

of fortune which predetermined for us all that we can ever be.

Now I understood that the same road was to bring us together

again. Whatever we had missed, we possessed together the

precious, the incommunicable

past” (372).
