ABSTRACT
This research paper examines the interaction between humans and nature in the novel Wuthering Heights from the perspective of eco-criticism. This paper also attempts to reveal how nature is presented, what kind of human attitude the characters demonstrate and how the interconnection between nature and individuals is portrayed in the novel. Since literature openly expresses issues related to human creations, it can be seen as a part of the environment that has been artistically and culturally constructed. This article shows how crucial nature is to the formation of the identities of the characters in the novel. This has something to do with the need for humanity to become more ecologically conscious. Eco-criticism aims to reveal a theoretical framework for exploring the connections between the natural environment and literature. Wuthering Heights is a complex and timeless literary work that embodies the ecological concept of returning to nature. The researcher wants to analyze the characters’ emotional and physical aspects from an eco-critical perspective. The four main characters of the novel mostly reflect the clash between humans and nature. Eco-criticism stands for the harmonious coexistence of people and nature as well as the impact of ecosystems on the inhabitants. The novel provides us with insightful information about the role that nature plays in shaping human nature. It also seeks to make clear how important nature is as a central theme in the book.
