This essay examines Sarah Orne Jewett's short story, "A White Heron," about a young girl who must decide between whether or not she wishes to expose a white heron in the forest to a male hunter desperately searching for it. The story includes elements of feminism, and it depicts a character who is connected with nature and its creatures -- its close inspection is therefore useful when examining animals in literature.
