摘要：Human beings, in their hard chase to improve their standard of living, have brought in irreparable damages to the environment. Creative writers, who were interested in nature, started to write about the impact of human activities on nature and the elements of nature and they wrote in such a way to create awareness about the conservation of the environment or to caution the readers about the impending dangers awaiting them. Ecocritical theory investigates the relationship between human activities and the natural world, particularly in terms of the influence of each upon the other. This paper highlights how Arundhati Roy has expressed her concern for nature which has been exploited by human beings in the name of civilisation, urbanisation and modernisation and how the detrimental effects of humans' exploitation of nature directly affect human life and living space.
