The prime objective of this article is to explore the representations of the natural world as presented in one of the famous odes of Keats‟s “Ode to a Nightingale” published in 1819. This paper seeks to analyze this ode from the Ecocritical Perspective which deals with the study of man's relationships with his physical environment along with his perception and conception of it. This article concludes that nature plays a very prominent role to generate sheer pleasure in man. The nature is represented as an active force, whereas persons are represented as positively beneficialized entities. This article is expected to be significant to those who are involved in teaching and learning ecocriticism. KeywordsEcocriticism, Nightingale, Ode, Representation
