Paper Summary:

This paper details the story of a woman whose life revolved around love, art and passion. The heroine's ideas about love are a little extreme and the author portrays her vision of idealized romantic love. This paper includes several excerpts from the book that describe Lucy's ideas about love. Finally, the author concludes that the love that Lucy yearns for cannot survive in the mere world.

From the Paper:

"In the character of Lucy Gayheart, in the novel of the same name, Willa Cather embodies a vision of idealized romantic Love. This is such a vast Love that it requires a capital L. For Lucy, Love is intense, yearning, painful and tragic. It offers escape, freedom, elevation, fire, passion and pain. Love and Art (or music as art) and fiery passion are intimately intertwined in Lucy's vision. In fact they become identified as one, and for Lucy Gayheart these three are the essence of Life. Without this expanded Love, Lucy cannot have Life. In the absence of this Love, Lucy dies. In the character of Lucy Gayheart, Willa Cather unites Love and Life and Art and Passion into one all encompassing concept of romantic liberation from the mundane."
