Relationship between Humans and Nature in Selected Poems of Robert Frost

Abstract

The crux of this research is to explore and represent the inseparable relationship between humans and nature. Core study of this thesis is to create the empirical understanding in human mind about nature versus culture. It mainly focuses on the spiritual union of the humans and nature. The point that will be emphasized throughout the present study is The nature of relationship between humans and nonhumans in which humans are found as dominant figures upon nonhuman species. The research also deals with ecological environment including the fate of the earth. In this research, Frost's selected poems precisely deal with dialectical state of mind of humans and exploitation of The nonhuman species. Since Frost is a nature poet, the spirit of whole organic nature is depicted in his selected poems and these features are explored in this thesis. The poems discussed reveal that everything is related to everything else and more significantly humans can't be separated from nature's company. No nature, no culture; no culture, no use of nature: nature and culture have a dichotomic relationship.
