Feminine Echoes of Nature: an Ecofeminist Lens on Arundhati Roy's Novels

Country India
Abstract This research study delves into the ecofeminist themes present in two pivotal novels by Arundhati Roy: The God of Small Things and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness. Examining the intricate interplay between gender oppression and environmental degradation, the study employs a comparative analysis to unravel the nuanced connections within Roy's narrative tapestry. The God of Small Things sets the stage with its exploration of the Meenachal River's decline as a metaphor for the erosion of societal values and women's agency. Through a non-linear narrative, Roy weaves a tale of forbidden love and caste dynamics against the backdrop of Kerala, India, illuminating the broader implications for both women and nature. Transitioning to The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, the research broadens its scope, encompassing political turmoil and ecological concerns. Roy expands her thematic canvas, introducing characters grappling with displacement and environmental degradation. This novel's narrative complexity mirrors the intricate relationships between diverse characters and their connection to the changing landscape.
