## Abstract
The objective of this research is to explore the environmental themes shown in Cormac McCarthy's novel, titled The Road, with a focus on the depiction of the apocalyptic aspect and the relationship between humans and nature. This descriptive qualitative research uses the ecocriticism theory by Greg Garrad to analyze the data and address the related questions. he novel vividly depicts that the center of attention is nature dying. This study's findings reveal a landscape shrouded in ash, with burned forests and nearly unbreathable air. The father and the boy demonstrate how the apocalypse compels individuals to reduce life to its most fundamental elements. Material things mean little. What matters are relationships, trust, and moral choices.
