The purpose of this paper is to examine Nathaniel Hawthorne’s major novel, The House of the Seven Gables from ecological perspectives. What Hawthorne makes an attempt to pursue in his works is an ecological community whose primary goal is symbioses. In The House of the Seven Gables the garden makes visible co-existence that is including all life forms. The garden’s setting facilitates a diversity that defies oppositions between such concepts as nature and culture, the country and the city. And the garden facilitates reciprocal communion. Hawthorne accords Phoebe as a resolution to the problems of the society, by endowing her with ecological virtues such as sympathy, caring ethic. Phoebe illuminates light on the dark garden and gloomy house of the seven gables and supplies Hepzibah and Clifford with vitality by caring for them. The marriage of Phoebe and Holgrave preludes the recovery of Eden, which, although some skeptical commentators have been quick to point out, is not recoverable, if it ever existed. Hawthorne presents a possibility of an ecological community that can be recovered by love and care for others. The ecological utopia emphasizes interdependence and symbioses in the ecological vision.
