In Stephen Crane's "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky," a Western town faces an unexpected disruption when its marshal, Jack Potter, returns with a new wife. The townspeople, accustomed to a predictable and law-abiding existence, are startled by this sudden change. As the newlyweds make their way to Yellow Sky on a train, tensions rise among the townsfolk who fear the loss of their long-established way of life. Crane skillfully captures the clash between tradition and progress, exploring themes of love, fear, and the inevitable transformation of a once-untamed frontier town. With its vivid characters and gripping narrative, this classic short story presents a thought-provoking reflection on the changing landscapes of the American West.
