The protagonist's transition from innocence to a more rugged persona mirrors the transformation of the American landscape during the frontier period. Brand's narrative technique weaves a tale of revenge and self-discovery, where the lyrical descriptions of the environment pair with the terse dialogues emblematic of the western genre's stoic characters.
