The Eco-semiotic Triangle of Natural Powers

Emphasis in this study is put on the context of natural environment, the eco system, widely reflected by novels and essay of French expression: Gouverneurs de la rose (Jacques Roumain), Compre gnral soleil (Jacques Stephen Alexis) and Noces (Albert Camus). The geographical environment is relevant because those French speaking or Francophone authors draw immensely from their social and natural milieu to create realist effect of the climate's intricacies. Sun destroys water and burns the environment; water fights back the draught and restores life. The forces of nature symbolize the Capitalists and the Workers; the rich and the haves-not. Each text can be placed and interpreted semiotically within a pyramid that signifies social ascension and the Marxist social revolution. It is a semiotic triangle of the basic ecological elements of nature, sun and water, fiercely antagonizing by fighting bitterly one against another in the Caribbean/tropical realm; although sun and water also coexist poetically, symbiotically within Albert Camus' ideal home, the Mediterranean coast.
