Alexandra, A Pioneer Woman In Willa Cather's O Pioneer

The first thing Morrie tells us about his new mother shows that he is very fond of her. She is called his “saving embrace”, and that shows that he likes her. We know that she is a very energetic person and she brings positive atmosphere into the rather dim areas that his father creates. In quite a few aspects, she is the opposite of Morrie’s father and brings a very positive atmosphere into Morrie’s life. I believe that Eva is a big reason that Morrie is as loving and caring as he is.

How can love conquer all? Stephen Chbosky’s idea that “We accept the love we think we deserve”, tells us that sometimes we love out of desperation and not out of appreciation. The art of love entices us to yearn for it, to aspire to achieve it in all its greatness. Love changes us, it makes us stronger and more open minded to the world's strength, it enlightens us to all the possibilities and opportunities the world has for us. Maybe Willa Cather, author of O Pioneers! has proven to us that the idea that love can conquer all is indeed achievable, and that maybe love, in all forms, is the key to all life’s difficulties.
