This thesis takes three representative woks——Coleridge's The Rhyme of The Ancient Mariner, Melville's Moby Dick and Faulkner's The Bear as examples, focuses on eco-ethics analyzing the evolution process of the relationship between human and nature, discusses the advancement of eco-ethics relationship by textual analysis, and reappears several modes of human eco-ethical thought development from the aspect of literature. It contains some novel ideas and feasibilities.Meanwhile, the thesis comments on the forms and course of human and nature relationship with the relevant theories of eco-ethics, distills the development sequences in which at first humans respect and awe the nature, then adopt it, later try to conquer it and finally rethink it. The change of the relationship between human and nature aims to call for the humans to return to where they belong, reflect the mental orientation of human culture, to build the united and harmonious eco-ethics whole-heartedly, to respect other natural creatures and survive equally.The thesis hopes to analyze the classics in literature from a new perspective, to endow them with larger illustrative space.
