책소개

"The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky," written by Stephen Crane in 1898, is a short story that symbolically depicts the end of the American Wild West and the arrival of civilization. The protagonist, Jack Potter, is the sheriff of the small Texas town of Yellow Sky. He returns to town with his new bride after marrying her in the East. On the train, the couple feels awkward and out of place, reflecting the tension between tradition and change. Upon arrival, the notorious outlaw Scratchy Wilson, drunk and looking for a fight, confronts Jack. However, when Scratchy learns that Jack has married, the anticipated showdown dissolves. This ending signifies the replacement of violence and lawlessness by family, order, and civilization. Through this story, Crane delicately captures the complex emotions brought about by personal change and social progress.

Stephen Crane (18711900) was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer, regarded as a pioneer of naturalism and realism in literature. Born in New Jersey, he began writing at an early age and gained attention with Maggie: A Girl of the Streets (1893), which depicted urban poverty.
