The Professor's House

Write down what you know. These are the words of Willa Cather's life. In the novel "The House of Professors" Cather's life is directly parallel to the life of the main character Godfrey St. Peter. Through St. Peter, readers can observe the struggle and victory occurring in Willa Kaza 's life. Materialism and idealism, the discovery of religion, and the fight against her own middle-aged crisis was revealed through the role of Godfree St. Peter. In 1922, Cather was increasingly irritated by the increasing mechanization of American society and the quality of mass production "(Norton).

"Professor's house (1925) began," The movement ended. " Professor Godfrey St. Peter is a seven-year Spanish adventurer in North America and a historian of internationally successful writers. Recognition and bonus made St. Peters build a new house, but he continued his research at a destroyed borrowed house where they raised their daughter. Book I The Family recreates contemporary business fiction of chaotic style. Focusing on the embarrassment between families buying, building and decorating the house, it creates a claustrophobic atmosphere until it is necked, and Saint Peter responds to the former response of his former student Tom. Finally, in his attic research alone the third volume professor shows Saint Peter when his flame of gas stove burned, lost consciousness and awakened the earth's own meditation.

If the "design is a story" of the professor's house, this novel is very worried about the conceptual framework - misreading of Duchene's mother Eve; the outpatient area of ​​St. Peter and his family's "female" Misunderstanding is still an important issue. : Why is the novel "Cather" expressed as "annoying, boring, a little story" is a serious misread (Woodress 367). It is natural for writers to be interested in Duchene and St. Peter's views on history and stories (such as the story of Eve and Outland), but Cather was particularly urgent to explore this problem in 1925 I had a reason. Family crisis Professor's house made a big contribution to this in St. Peter's Oxford History Award (33). This award adds an additional 5,000 pounds to "build a new house he does not want to move" (33)
