PORTRAYAL OF WOMEN AND NATURE IN KINGSOLVER'S NOVEL FLIGHT BEHAVIOUR

Abstract

Literary eco -criticism is concerned with the ways that the relation between humans and nature are reflected in literary texts -the relationship of human beings with each other and with their environment. Literature has rich ecological heritage because literary history has many works on romanticism, naturalism, transcendentalism, literature of landscape and frontier literature. This paper aims to portray how Kingsolver used women and nature in her novel flight behaviour.
