Abstract

With an emphasis on The Hungry Tide, Gun Island, The Glass Palace, and The Shadow Lines, this research examines ecocriticism in Amitav Ghosh's novels. The research looks at how Ghosh illustrates the complex interrelationships between people and the environment, focusing on issues like colonial resource exploitation, climate change, and displacement. The article employs a qualitative research approach to evaluate these novels via an ecocritical lens, emphasizing Ghosh's call for ecological awareness and his criticism of environmental destruction. The findings show a sophisticated comprehension of environmental concerns, as Ghosh challenges readers' conceptions of nature and human responsibility by fusing tales from the cultural, historical, and ecological spheres. By providing a thorough examination of Ghosh's literary exploration of environmental concerns, this research adds to the expanding discipline of ecocriticism.
