CONSTRUCTING LIVES AND SHAPING RELATIONSHIPS IN ERDRICH’S NARRATIVE: THE DEPTHS OF CARE AND THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF LOVE

Summary/Abstract: In ”The Antelope Wife” by Louise Erdrich, the theme of care is central to the story. Erdrich explores five recurring themes of care through nuanced character development and moving storytelling. Each of these themes is carefully examined being based on an attentive analysis and highlighting the transformative effect of love, sacrifice and compassion in constructing lives and shaping relationships. Erdrich’s examination of caring, which ranges from the devoted commitment of a dog to its owner to the gentle actions of a sibling towards other siblings, serves as a poignant reminder of the lasting value of empathy and human connection in overcoming life’s challenges.
