Earticle

This paper aims at analyzing an inextricable relationship both with the land of Nebraska and with Ántonia’s bodily self, which are invariably manifested in her passionate life of the land. Tending eleven sons and an orchard connected with a productive home and the fertile farmland, Ántonia is dissolved into something complete and great in the land of Nebraska. That makes us feel the goodness of planting and tending and harvesting, all the strong things of her true heart coming out in her bodily experiences. But Ántonia can be seen as the ordinary woman of the land rather than be cast both as the Mother of Earth and as the ecofeministic heroine. Ántonia is not a spiritually symbolic character of being in search of the coexistence between nature and women as well as groping toward the notion of equality among them. On the other hand, Ántonia represents a bodily experiential human beings of closely binding up with nature in special places and conditions. This reflects precisely the basic world-view that her body is an object that houses something holy. This view provides a new model for questioning the ecofeminie ideology, the Mother of Earth, the patriarchal social ideology, and the deep ecology.
