His works are famous for the detailed description of the environment and incisive discussion on the relationship between man and nature. His work Moby-Dick is listed by Maugham as one of the ten greatest works in the world. In the novel, Melville not only depicted the natural beauty and mystery but also attacked the industrial revolution and human civilization’s exploitation on nature. Melville warned us if we human continued doing something evil to nature, we would be destroyed like Pequod. The concept of “ecocriticism” was first put forward in 1978 by William Rueckert in his article “Literature and Ecology: An Experiment in Ecocriticism”. This article aims to interpret the text by the method of literature research to reveal the source of ecological crisis and awaken the ecological consciousness of human beings. This thesis aims to explore the ecological enlightenment in Moby-Dick from the perspective of ecocriticism. It reiterates the importance of the balance between human and nature, and also points out that although Moby-Dick tells us a tragic story, it still brings hope to human beings. As the sole survivor, Ishmael brings the light of hope to human which warns that we human beings should attach importance to the harmonious relationship between man and nature, and rebuild the balance between human and nature from now on. And this is the only road to human’s survival and development. Key words: Moby-Dick; Ecological Implications; EcocriticismCon
