Abstract
In this research, we attempt to answer this question with the exploratory reading of the story of the "Abiha" blues" by Moniru Ravanipour : To what extent the events of this story, which is related to the indigenous beliefs of the people of the south, corroborate the relationship between women and nature? What are the differences between women and men attitude in this story about nature? Based on this research, it can be said that Moniru Ravanipour with her female concerns, has been able to relate to this story - and of course her other stories emphasizing the duality of men and women. In addition to by utilizing a mythical inventory such as Mermaid shows the close relationship between woman and nature. Unlike profit-minded of men, women have a kind of caring and empathic behavior with nature. Ravanipour, also dividing Mermaids into blue and red and she has been able to portray the dual figure of nature. A figure that is proportional to the behavior of humans (men) is suddenly changing, and women understand this sudden change.

Abstract
This article aims at studying ecofeminism in Vladimir Nabokov’s Laughter in the Dark. Nabokov’s works have been the matter of different perspectives since they have been created but this article claims that what has so far been neglected about his works is that Nabokov’s novels pay respectful attention to nature and its problems. Ecofeminism, a branch of ecocriticism, has been created and widened recently by some prominent thinkers like Susan Griffin and Elizabeth Bishop. In the context of ecofeminism, the similarities between nature and women in having two opposite sides is the site of authorship for some contemporary writers. Nature and women, according to them, are both healer and killer simultaneously. The article shows how these two sides are presented in Nabokov’s novel, and, by means of which it, tacitly, claims that Nabokov, as in his other works, worships nature and its elements.
