Summary – Man vs Nature.


The poem 'Man vs Nature' by 'Norman Littleford' highlights the conflict between human beings and the natural world. The poet describes thunder and lightning as Nature’s warning against human interference and abuse. Although people admire Nature’s beauty, they selfishly exploit her resources without giving anything back. Humans constantly expand and develop land in the name of progress, but this growth harms Nature and prevents her from flourishing. The poem clearly reminds us that human greed and carelessness are destroying the balance of Nature and urges us to respect and protect her.
