Abstract

In the light of ecology, Twain's discourse does not appear merrely ambivalent but coherent with ecological vision: he does not sound pessimistic or skeptical but optimistic, fully aware of the mysterious energy of life flowing in cyclical harmony. His respect of every life as equally valuable agrees with the post-anthropocentric ecology of the 21st century. The purpose of this paper is to define Twain's discourse as ecological. After the brief introduction of ecological theories of the twenty first century ecologists such as Lesley Head, Andrew C. Isenberg, Alan Holland, and John O'Neill, the ecological layer of Twain's works will be discussed in the chronological order: Twain's early protest against the devastation of ecological cycle in nature, the ecological regret in his middle period, and the ecological conviction in his later works. Ecological theories illuminate the Native Americans in Twain's texts as one of ecological elements just as much as white Euro-Americans.
