The research aims to investigate how nature is presented, what
kind of human attitude the character demonstrates, and how the
depictions of both natures, which is nature outside the city and nature in
Theedville, are interconnected with technology. I analyze by using an
approach to the nature on the film Dr. Seuss the Lorax directed by Chris
Renaud in 2012. Nature and technology on the film are analyzed by
applying the technological concepts of Robet Costanza; Technology
Optimist and Technology Pessimist. Based on the research findings, the
analysis discovers a considerably deep environmental value embedded in
Dr.Seuss the Lorax in which nature is represented through a symbolism
of paradise and death; the characters demonstrate the lack of human
attitudes towards nature as it is represented from their behavior towards
nature. Moreover, the interconnection between nature and technology
based on Ted's inappropriate experience between the city of Theedville
and outside the city lead to a lack of understanding between the two
interconnected concepts of ecocritic and technology, and how totalitarian
governments undermine relationships between human and nature by
using sophisticated technology. As a conclusion, this film illustrates the
impact that entails due to overuse of technology, and how nature can be
improved, by reforesting damaged areas, and respecting the environment.
