Role Of Nature In T.S Eliot’s The Hollow Men (1925) - An Eco-Critical Study.

Eco criticism is a critical theory that has the center of attention to studying the relationship between literature and the environment. This research paper identifies deep-rooted causes that arise when society comes into interaction with Nature. The main proponent of this theory was Cheryll Glotfelty who was the editor of the famous book “The Eco-critical Reader”. Ecocriticism is a neologism term in the field of literature. Ecology is the science of nature and its connection with humanity. It is a multidisciplinary study that focuses on sustainability and the existence of man. The present study aims to study The Hollow Men (1925) by T.S Eliot, which draws the picture of the hollowed world after world war. The poem under study has major concern for society and culture which are suffering from a lack of belief, optimistic approach, righteousness, ethics, and humanity. Humanity which is empty and corrupted lost its will to perform a beneficial part in the progress and preservation of nature. The researcher employs a qualitative research methodology. The goal of qualitative research is to clarify the traits of the subjects it examines as they are understood by people. Thus, rather than aiming to collect and analyze factual facts, qualitative research instead explores subjective experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
