In "All the Beautiful Horses" Luis states "there was no communion between men as between horses and the idea that men could be understood was probably a illusion", by this he means that the relationship that man has with nature is completely unique, it is sacred; the relationship between men is a misunderstanding. In some respects the reader can agree with the statement because it is true, man's relationship with animals and nature is quite simple compared to men's relationship with each other is much more complex due to conflict of opinions and other complications. John Grady Cole's relationship with Alejandra faced a lot of turmoil and complications, one of the biggest problems they faced was the fact that Alejandra's family condemned their relationship and forbade her from being with him. To some extent John's romance with Alejandra mirrors Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in regards to their forbidden love, however their story does not end in tragedy. Wordsworth shows that nature is more of a companion to man in "The Solitary Reaper". The woman reaps alone in the field singing in a voice so "exciting" that it rings out "Long after that she was never heard from again." Although she is alone, she is totally dependent on the sustenance she receives and the relationship she has with nature. The poet proceeds to compare her to the cuckoo and the nightingale by stating that "no nightingale ever sang more welcome notes for weary bands." The fact that he is compared to birds with such a beautiful song certainly shows his unity with nature. Unlike the "maiden", Victor seeks to control and dominate nature, this resentment could arise from the fact that his mother died of fever, forcing him to go to great lengths to build this figure from different parts of the body to create a cre.. ... . in the center of the paper... like the stars that twinkle and twinkle on the milky way' painting a very vivid picture in the minds of the readers, the poet finds joy and comfort in nature, he explains 'And then my heart with pleasure fills , and dances with the daffodils.' Mary Shelly in 'Frankenstein' illustrates the relationship between man and nature through the character of Doctor Victor Frankenstein. Mary Shelly explores man's efforts to dominate nature and, through Victor's actions, comes to the conclusion that nature is unstoppable and spontaneous and that man should not try to control something that is not his to control. Man should instead operate in coherence with nature, giving both the same respect. Overall, McCarthy, Wordsworth and Shelly all show the importance and importance of nature to humanity, that we should work together with nature to improve the quality of our lives and minimize the negative impact on nature..
