How is the motif of “nature” developed throughout the short story “The Interlopers?” Provide evidence from the reading to support your response

In the short story "The Interlopers", Nature is treated as a character in the story. more explanation below.

Explanation:

There are many references to nature in "The Interlopers." as well as the storm and the feud over the forest. Nature also tops over the humans in the story. The evidence to this is "The forest lands of Gradwitz were of wide extent and well stocked with game; the narrow strip of precipitous woodland that lay on it's outskirts was not remarkable for the game it harbored, but it was the most jealously guarded of all its owners territorial possessions."

Von Gradwitz and Znaeym as the story progresses lose to nature. The nature is shown as superior to humans and something that man can not triumph over.

i'm thinking it would be when compound subjects are joined by or, nor,either-or, neither-nor.
