Abstract

This study aims to investigate the theme of power dehumanization portrayed through the perspective of the Hawk in Ted Hughes' poem, Hawk Roosting. Hughes vividly depicts the Hawk's tyrannical nature and arrogance, positioning him as the ultimate authority, with the entirety of the universe subject to his dominance. The eco-critical approach within the poem is discernible through its intricate depiction of the Hawk's natural habitat, unveiling a lush and complex forest ecosystem. The research reveals that nature is not merely a passive backdrop in this poem; rather, it emerges as an active participant, mirroring the interconnectedness and vitality of the environment. Through the lens of the Hawk, the poem presents a unique outlook on the natural hierarchy, with the Hawk assuming the role of the uncontested ruler. It underscores humanity's inclination to exert absolute control over nature, mirroring the Hawk's behavior, often disregarding the long-term repercussions of such dominance. Moreover, the poem emphasizes the resilience and potency of nature, challenging human assertions of superiority. By adopting an eco-critical perspective, the poem prompts a reassessment of the Hawk's oppressive demeanor, while fostering an appreciation for the diversity and intricacy of the ecosystem that sustains human life.

Abstract

Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d’Urbervilles illuminates profound connections between individuals, society, and the natural world. This study examines Hardy's narrative through an ecofeminism lens, investigating the role of nature in shaping women's self-awareness, particularly exemplified by the protagonist Tess. Utilizing qualitative descriptive methodology, the research delves into Tess's experiences, elucidating the intricate interplay between her consciousness, societal constraints, and environmental dynamics. The research reveals nature as a multifaceted backdrop for Tess's journey of self-discovery. Initially, her poignant encounter with the death of her horse, Prince, triggers a profound introspection, catalyzing her awareness of life's fragility and her own agency within the natural order. However, subsequent traumas, such as her violation in the forest, tarnish her perception of nature as a sanctuary, rendering it a poignant symbol of her suffering. Nevertheless, nature also offers Tess moments of solace and renewal. Her immersion in farm life provides a conduit for reconnecting with the rhythms of the earth, fostering resilience and empowerment amidst adversity. Moreover, nature becomes a refuge from societal judgment, albeit simultaneously serving as a poignant reminder of her past. Through Tess's odyssey, Hardy underscores the intimate bond between women and nature, shedding light on their vulnerability within patriarchal structures. This research contributes to the discourse on ecofeminism in literature by elucidating how nature shapes women's self-awareness and agency, advocating for a nuanced understanding of their complex relationship. Ultimately, it underscores the need for more equitable and empowering connections between women and the natural world.
