Nature is used in many ways in fiction. It can be used as setting, to create mood and atmosphere, as a plot element, or even as a character. The physical world creates the backdrop against which characters live. It can be a minor or a major part of the story. The writer can also use nature to add humor, pathos, or irony to a story. Nature can influence a story's plot -- it can be the chance element that sets the plot in a particular direction, a major or minor hindrance, or a major or minor help. Nature can be such an important element of the story that it becomes a character in itself. Man vs. Nature is one of the classic plots. The Old Man and the Sea and "To Light a Fire" used nature as the hero's adversary.
