The narrative centers on Niel Herbert, a young man from Sweet Water, who observes the moral decline of Mrs. Forrester, a woman he deeply admires. Through Niel's perspective, Cather explores themes of disillusionment and loss, reflecting on the transition of the West from an idealized pioneer era to one marked by capitalist exploitation. The story is told in the third person, allowing for a poignant examination of both personal and societal decay. Cather's work captures the complexities of human experience against the backdrop of changing landscapes.
