Abstract (EN)
This study aims to discuss the concept of nature in William Golding's novel The Inheritors through ecocritical approach. The study consisting of four main chapters with an introduction and a conclusion examines the rise and development of ecocriticism and addresses reflections of ecocritical elements in The Inheritors. This novel reflecting William Golding's worldview and approach to human beings precedes current ecocritical discourses. In this respect, the primary samples of the destructive actions and the solipsist approach of human beings based on the exploitation of Nature are pictured in this novel representing an archaic world. This study aims to examine this world pictured by Golding as an ecocritical discourse. Key Words: Ecocriticism, William Golding, The Inheritors, Neanderthals, Homo sapiens
