 note = {application/pdf, AN00000289-20120726-33, In Willa Cather's O Pioneers! (1913), the author describes nature in Nebraska, frontier settlers' lives and the forming process of new farms and society. The Bergsons are pioneers who struggle to exploit the barren "Divide." Alexandra, the oldest daughter of the Bergsons, transforms this space into a fertile farm through her many skills. She sees the ground as a "still" and "moving" creature. In this novel, such images of "stillness" and "movement" accompany the lives of pioneers.
The people who live in the marginal "Divide" always long to live in mainstream American society. That is, they want drastic change as well as stability in their lives. Alexandra also longs to move within a wider world, living freely, while also maintaining stability through her prosperous farm. Her energy to exploit the marginal ground symbolizes contemporary pioneers' wishes to make money and become mainstream Americans. Alexandra also symbolizes contemporary pioneers' resolutions to live in harmony with nature. These motifs of "stillness" and "movement" are repeatedly used to describe the pioneers' lives and the contemporary American character. The pioneers continue to "move" in pursuit of illusory paradise and "stillness."},
