My Antonia

Why does Ántonia decide to leave the Harlings and go to work for the Cutters? Why is it said that it will be the “ruin” of Ántonia if she goes to work for the Cutters?

Book 2 the hired girls chapter 10

Harling is an authoritarian; he demands being obeyed. Ántonia is a free spirit who doesn't like restrictions. She would rather work fore someone who gives her freedom.
