Ecocriticism takes its subject as the interconnection between nature and culture and especially the language and literature. Most ecocritical texts help man to realize his self and revert back toward his roots from external world. Man has roamed about everywhere in search of inner satisfaction and happiness, but the same is actualized in the lap of nature. Ecocritical works share a common motivation: to connect to the environment. The human race has reached the age of environmental limits, a time when the consequences of human actions are damaging the planet’s basic life support system. This awareness sparks of the desire to contribute to environment awareness. The human race is facing a global crisis today not because of how ecosystem works but how our ethical system towards the nature functions. Facing the crises requires understanding our impact on nature with the understanding of man’s ethical stand he has chosen by his cultural connotations. While studying ecocriticism, the comprehensiveness of the study is recommended. Ecocritical approach, thus can be theoretical, historical, pedagogical, analytical, rhetorical or the combination of all. All these above mentioned approaches are directly related to human life. By studying this theory, one looks at all, direct or indirect, facets, of human life.
