An Eco―critical Interpretation of the Conflicts in the Poem “Snake” 　　【Abstract】The poem “Snake” is a significant masterpiece of the versatile author D.H. Lawrence， dealing with a story between a man and a snake. According to the poem， the man’s attitude towards the snake experiences three stages， indicating the ecological conflicts. This paper is intended to make an Eco-critical interpretation of such tension， aiming to achieve a better understanding of this poem. 　　【Key words】Eco-criticism； Tension； “Snake” 　　1.

This paper is intended to make an Eco-critical interpretation of man-nature relation. 　　2.

Here， the poet uses the repetition of “must wait” to show “my” respectful attitude towards it. However， the ecological tension comes then. In terms of the education “I” have received， the golden snakes in Sicilian are venomous. Although the snake in front of me is very gentle， it may threat “my” life. “I” must kill it to protect “myself”. But
