POST APOCALYPTIC WORLD AND ECOLOGICAL CONSCIOUSNEDD IN MARGARET ATWOODS THE YEAR OF FLOOD

eco criticism (literature)

Humans have endeavoured to establish their existence on this planet and have firmly held the belief in their dominance over other animals. The pursuit of human individuality has driven them to amass more, be it knowledge, territory, natural resources, or, in a broader sense, the globe itself. The human tendency to feel superior has resulted in the devastation and eradication of numerous species on Earth. In the past two centuries, human progress has significantly outpaced that of the previous two thousand years. We have successfully advanced and arrived at Mars, nevertheless, the focus of concern is with our own planet and the organisms inhabiting it. The human endeavour in space revolves around the fundamental inquiry of whether we are the sole inhabitants of the universe. Simultaneously, the ecological characteristics of this planet are likewise unparalleled. This study examines the ecological issues depicted in The Year of the Flood.
