| Abstract | ||
| The Connection between the human being and nature is not a mere physical link, but spiritual, moral and sensory. This connection culminates when the two sides interact to express a positive or negative reaction until one of them reflects what is going on in the other and is influenced by it genuinely .In his play Desire Under the Elms , Eugene O'Neill clearly shows how the elements of nature influence humans because the latter have to be influenced by one of the four elements constituting nature : air, water, earth, and fire . Each element of these has its impact on the individual's personality and leads to the formation of his identity, which, in, turn, interact with other characters and he/she does what he/she does and reflects whatever feelings he feels . The sum of these actions and feelings results in certain events and sensations which will be exploited by playwright to formulate a dramatic performance to the reader who sees part of his life is being performed , which is reflected in the other figures. He realizes that his character from within the figures contained in the theatrical work and so incredible work and believes in what he brought for as long as the narrative is realistically reasonable and comprehensive for the mind and the feelings rest assured . | ||
