Abstract

This study analyses Road Dahl's children's novels, Danny the Champion of the World and the Magic Finger, to look at the relationship between humans and nature as depicted by both. The research explores human morality and responsibility towards nature. The research shows how the themes of nature in both novels can reveal how human actions can affect nature. In addition, this research explains how the book conveys its moral message to beginning readers. The author uses a qualitative method and applies the theory of New Criticism by Cleanth Brooke. The results show that the importance of conservation and responsibility towards nature, as well as criticism of behavior that damages the environment. In addition, the author found that, although the two books were released in different years, both feature contemporary environmental issues. The reciprocal relationship between humans and nature shows that humans cannot treat nature badly because it will affect humans themselves in the end.
