We consider the Orion Nebula (M 42) within a project aimed at studying the interaction between massive stars and their surrounding ISM. This is an H ii region ionized by θ1 Ori C, one of the four massive stars in the Trapezium Cluster. θ1 Ori C has the earliest spectral type (O7Vp) among them, emitting an ionizing flux several orders of magnitude larger than those of the other stars. We present a spectral analysis of the Trapezium Cluster stars to determine their stellar parameters. We use spectra between 4250 – 4750 Å and compare them with synthetic spectra obtained by means of an updated version of fastwind that includes an approximated treatment of metal-line blanketing.
