Abstract
The article explores the themes of nature and ecology in the plays of English author William Shakespeare. The author reflects on the dynamic between the human and nonhuman from the perspective of premodern society. Topics discussed include the homologous relationship between natural and human forms in Shakespeare's time, scenes of incorporation and re-assimilation in the play "Titus Andronicus," and cyclical exchanges between human and earth. The author also evaluates theories on nature by author Bruno Latour in books such as "We Have Never Been Modern."
