Man and Nature: a Comparative Study of Robinson Crusoe and Paradise Lost. Nature, Creation, and Human Responsibility

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This thesis investigates the representation of nature, creation, and human responsibility in Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe and John Milton’s Paradise Lost. Although differing in genre and scope, both texts explore humanity’s relationship with the natural world and divine creation. Defoe presents nature as a space for survival, mastery, and moral reflection, while Milton depicts nature as a divinely ordered system disrupted by human disobedience. Through comparative literary analysis, this study examines how both authors address humanity’s duty toward creation. The findings reveal that both works emphasize responsibility, moral accountability, and the consequences of human action within the natural and spiritual order.
