The Urbanization And Ecological Study Of Cormac Mc Carthy
Abstract
The natural environment, linguistics, and religion are all major topics in Cormac McCarthy’s books. The three concepts are compared in this paper, which contends that McCarthy gives the environmental environment a religious value that mankind may sense but just not fully comprehend or articulate. Mankind cannot accurately convey actuality via language because he is a “symbol-using” animal, according to Kenneth Burke. Communication also contributes to the privatization of the natural environment by enabling man to reassess the environment around him during light of variables that he has created. In order to expose truth outside of human language, such examples in the creatures and landscapes of the natural environment, many of McCarthy’s heroes fight against the fast urbanisation occurring in the majority of his novels. In doing so, they rediscover the fundamental truth that really is mystical, strong, and profound.
