| dc.description.abstract | The present dissertation deals with three works, the non fiction book Silent Spring by Rachel Carson , The Road by Cormac Mccarthy and Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea according to ecocritical theory. Further, the first chapter deals with Carson’s Silent Spring book which tackels the human abuse on nature by using chemical pesticides and providing some scientific solutions to avoid these chemicals. Hence, we find that through these literary works the reader can understand the ipmortance of interdependence of all living creatures on earth. The second chapter is about McCarthy’s The Road which deals with the revenge of nature in a post-apocalyptic world, in this chapter we find that by using literature particularly novels, the reader will know that nature has its proper laws that people can not violate. The last chapter concerns Hemingway’s The Old Man and the sea, tackels the human struggle with the marine creatures, however this struggle became as a respect and preservation of nature. Therefore we find that this novel contains energy that flow to the reader and creates on him a sense of ecological values. To complete our work, we have used William Rueckert theory of ecocriticism, in which he advocates to relate literary works to ecological concepts, therefore he challenges the anthropocentric vision and sheds light on the interconnection of all living beings. Also he believes that literature has a stored energy which helps to raise human awarness about environmental issues. | |
