Dissertation note: Thesis (M.A.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Arts - Department of English Summary: The thesis sheds light on Ecocriticism as one of the latest additions to literary and cultural theory. Vegetation, animal and aquatic symbols are the major categories of Ecocriticism this thesis will endeavor to investigate. The study focuses on these three ecocritical aspects in both Arabic and Western drama relating them to their various cultural manifestations. Thus, this study aims at examining the culture/nature dichotomy in order to verify the role of culture in relation to human's perception of nature.

The corpus of analysis in this research will be Tawfik El- Hakim's The Tree Climber, David Mamet's The Woods, Saad'Allah Wannous's The King's Elephant, Peter Shaffer's Equus, Tawfik El-Hakim's Isis and John Millington Synge's Riders to the Sea
