Bond Between Human And The Nature: A Critical Study On Willa Cather’s The Song Of The Lark

Environmental themes are prominent in the narrative subtexts of several of Willa Cather’s early novels. However, Cather’s The Song of the Lark (1915) readings do not fully examine her use of love tales as an intentional narrative technique that ties individual people with one other and the country. We’ll focus on how the love tales in The Song of the Lark intertwine between people and the land to help readers establish a stronger connection with nature. Cather elevates the love tales well beyond their fundamental power to evoke readers’ emotions or display a symbolic depiction of the American landscape’s tremendous modification throughout the 1910s by accomplishing this. As a result, her use of love tales as a narrative technique helps the reader relate to environmental changes on an interpersonal and human level. It is also possible that this literary style might be very successful in today’s environmental debate because of its ability to persuade the reader to raise their environmental consciousness and perhaps affect future behaviour. The study argues that these bridges are built on one of the most fundamental tenets of the collective unconscious: the common situation of love and the shared experience of loss, and that this operates in Cather’s The Song of the Lark to traverse the divide to a true identifier with, respect for, and sustainable improvement of the connection between people and nature.
