The Image of "Nature" in William Wordsworth’s Poem "The Prelude "

Abstract

It was researched how Nature is presented and what influence it has on the author’s condition and his life position. Wordsworth uses more artistic techniques that create Nature as calm, beautiful, balanced, stable and graceful, which is an undeniable fact of trust and authority. Therefore, the hero turns to Nature every time he needs advice, support, salvation. We can conclude that in “Prelude” the artist of the word conveyed who She is for him. For him, Mother Nature is Wordsworth's teacher, guide, and mentor in life, helping and inspiring the author. However, Nature, like a human being, has many “faces” and states. Nevertheless, the fact that they all come down to two main ones – positive and negative, to what is good and bad, to good and evil, less She always finds a balance by behaving differently in a given situation. Nature, like an elderly, wise person, has seen a lot during its existence, has extensive experience, knows how to act correctly in moments of crisis, control and restore.
