Naturalism is the depiction of characters or the environment in their natural state in literature. The Return of the Native uses Naturalism very effectively when presenting new characters or environments for the reader. Each change presents a new view of Egdon Heath or a character such as Clem Yeobright or Diggory Venn. Egdon heath is described once as "a place whose dark soil was strong and crude and organic as the body of a beast." a very description that sends shivers bone deep. The characters separately are very delecately picked apart and analyzed down to the very existance of their being.
A naturalistic analysis of The Return of the Native provides for a very deep understanding of the setting and each character and how they interact.
