The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from O Pioneers! by Willa Cather: he was doing her wrong. He stopped his horse
to admit this to himself the more directly, to
think it out the more clearly. He knew that
he was to blame. For three years he had been
trying to break her spirit. She had a way of
making the best of things that seemed to him a
sentimental affectation. He wanted his wife to
resent that he was wasting his best years among
these stupid and unappreciative people; but she
had seemed to find the people quite good
enough. If he ever got rich he meant to buy
O Pioneers! |
