Abstract
This article explores the depiction of nature and ecological phenomena in the works of William Faulkner, focusing on how his literary landscapes reflect the complex relationship between humanity and the environment. Through a detailed analysis of Faulkner’s portrayal of wild, untamed forests and the inherent struggle for survival, the study examines the philosophical underpinnings of his narratives. Faulkner’s works, particularly his stories "The Old Man" and "The Bear" from Go Down, Moses, illustrate the tension between civilization and the primal forces of nature. These stories highlight the existential challenges faced by humans as they navigate the boundaries between societal expectations and natural instincts. By employing various literary devices, Faulkner crafts a vivid ecological dialogue that underscores the inevitable clash between progress and the preservation of the natural world. This analysis contributes to the broader discourse on environmental literature, emphasizing Faulkner's relevance in contemporary discussions on ecological awareness and cultural identity.
