Abstract

This study analyzes how the environment portrayed in Where the Crawdads Sing influence the main character (Kya) as she grew up in the marsh. This study focuses on two problems that guided the discussion: (1) How the place setting was portrayed in Where the Crawdads Sing; (2) How the milieu influenced the main character’s characteristics in Where the Crawdads Sing. This study used Greg Garrard’s ecocriticism concept, consisting of four tropes; classical pastoral, wilderness, dwelling, and animals. The method used is the descriptive qualitative method to describe the issue that is being studied systematically and clearly. The study results show that the environment where the main character Kya lived was portrayed as a reverse charm of marsh, gloomy swamp, wild ocean, prosperous estuary, and the healing point beach. They played an essential role in influencing her character, impacting her life as a whole. The milieu makes Kya become skillful and superior rather than women at her age. Even though Kya lived in such a secluded area, her knowledge is beyond people’s expectations, influencing her characteristics such as a Skillful young boat rider, Careful environment observant, and Versatile book writer.
