Abstract
No living being can deny their appreciation and profound fondness for nature which to some becomes the muse and flows down through ink on white canvas in the form of verse or prose. A major part of literature either praised the divinity and beauty of nature or impact of nature on human life. Whereas there ate literary works that depict the destructions and disturbances human activities have caused to nature through deforestation, heavy industrialization, immigration, and overuse of natural resources. The vigilant minds have criticized it and warned humanity. They are Ecocritics who try to bring awareness of the need to go back to nature for healthy living. If you protect nature, nature will protect you. Destroying nature is equal to suicide. Ecocritic tries to bridge this gap of ignorance, negligence and unawareness regarding the natural resources. We have to use them sparingly and protect the earth. Harmonious living is the only way out to environmental threat. Hence, Ecocritic builds the bridge of awareness, harmonious living, interconnected and interdependent relationship between man and nature. Ecocritic speaks for nature through literature. Thus, Ecocritic describes the inherent interwoven existence where a man without nature is incomplete and nature without a man is dull.
