Katherine Anne Porter's fiction is frequently imprinted on a landscape in a special world of nature that forms images of people and things describing a green world archetypal. Porter's works express a sense of the female-nature connection to show the predicament of a feminine life in the patriarchal society. The green world is the place from which female characters set forth and to which they return for renewal. It is also a refuge of those who confront their present placelessness in the outside world. In other words, Porter uses nature metaphors or similes to present female characters with vividness and efficiency. This article intends to interpret how the natural world has an impact on the spiritual or mental development of female characters in Porter's Miranda stories where the green world reinforces the central theme.
