This study focuses on Thea's overcoming disgust including basic emotions of smells that bunch the nostrils, sights of contaminated things, food that squint the eyes, and the secular people in a protean artistic community who make her feel repulsive. Disgust becomes threatening Thea all the time and leads her to the psychic and moral danger in the process of her being a strong-minded artist with a fundamentally self-securing emotion. Thea who comes from Moonstone, a little town in Colorado, wants to move into Chicago for her dream to come true as an artist. However, while she fights her way to the upper air in Chicago with her own pride, she faces disgusting and timeserving people and artistic communities which consider an art as a business. In this kind of atmosphere, Thea thinks the situation blots out her identity and it is mainly revealed through her own disgust reacting towards the food she has to eat, a sense of offensiveness for the source of pollution, and contamination potency around her etc. In the end, Thea needs glorious air to breathe, so she goes to the Panther Canyon to be inspired by Mother Nature. While she stays in the Canyon, she gets refreshed with pure water, clean air, sunshine, pine trees, and the ruins of the local Indians. After the journey to the Canyon, she gained the vital source of artistic life and is encouraged to do anything in the contaminated artistic world. And finally, she conquers and sings Sieglinde on the stage of the Metropolitan as a magnificent singer, prima donna. It means that she has tried to make her own way towards the perfect fruitage of her genius as a real artist by overcoming all the psychic and moral disgust.
