Abstract

This research examines the novel The Overstory through an ecocritical lens, aiming to identify six positions that illustrate the relationship between human and nature within the novel. Additionally, it explores the significant implications of trees for the Earth. The research employs qualitative methods, using Greg Garrard’s (2012) ecocriticism framework focused on positions and the Earth. The writer analyzes 32 textual data objects from four chapters of The Overstory. The results of the research show that the aspects of the positions in Richard Powers’ The Overstory are cornucopia, environmentalism, deep ecology, ecofeminism, eco-marxism, and Heideggerian ecophilosophy are portrayed along with all the characters in the novel. Moreover, the significant implications of trees for the Earth are also depicted that trees have intrinsic value practically and personally connected to all the main characters of The Overstory which shows their backgrounds that encourage them to preserve nature. Key Words: ecocriticism, positions, the Earth, human-nature relationships
