Abstract This research article analyses the metaphors and thematic elements in Emmi Itäranta's Memory of Water and Marcel Theroux's Far North: A Novel, focusing on their ecocritical and dystopian frameworks. Both novels depict settings that reflect different world regions, illustrating the profound impact of climate change and human lifestyles on the environment. In Memory of Water, water scarcity serves as a powerful metaphor for ecological degradation, highlighting the consequences of humanity's neglect and exploitation of natural resources. The protagonist, Noria Kaiti, embodies the struggle for survival in a world where water has become a precious commodity, symbolising both life and memory. Similarly, Far North presents a bleak vision of a post-apocalyptic landscape shaped by environmental collapse, emphasising themes of isolation and resilience in the face of adversity. Through rich imagery and symbolic representation, both authors critique contemporary societal issues while urging readers to reconsider their relationship with nature. This study aims to uncover how these narratives not only reflect environmental crises but also propose pathways for addressing ecological challenges through awareness and conservation efforts.
