Abstract

This thesis aims to reveal and interpret the meaning of natural symbolism in five selected poems by William Wordsworth, a prominent poet of the English Romantic era. Wordsworth is widely known for his ability to make nature the central subject of his works. For Wordsworth, nature is not just a beautiful background, but rather an entity that is loaded with deep philosophical, spiritual, and emotional meanings. This research attempts to answer the question of how Wordsworth uses natural elements as symbols to convey his ideas about memory, spirituality, and the relationship between humanity and nature. The method used in this paper is qualitative and descriptive with a literary criticism approach that focuses on the theory of symbolism. The main data sources (1770 – 1850) are five representative poems by Wordsworth that are rich in natural imagery. The data analysis is done through the technique of deep reading and finding the objects and interpreting their symbolic meaning based on the context in the poem and the framework of Romanticism. The thesis show that Wordsworth consistently uses natural elements such as flowers, mountains, rivers, and sky as complex symbols. Flowers often symbolize the beauty of the moment, happiness, and the power of memories. The mountain and the river symbolize eternity, divine majesty, and the spiritual journey of man. Furthermore, nature as a whole is depicted as a teacher, an immoral guide, and a source of peace of mind that can restore the human spirit from the harshness of modern life.
