Loss of Nature in Kate Grenville’s The Secret River

Abstract

Literature is a global term comprises wider life style and experience of a human. Literary theory, down the ages, is a strait sense of the systematic study of literary art and the different methods of analyzing it. Postcolonialism is dealing with the literature of the colonial landscape and about their freedom. Ecocriticism deals with the concept of change in environment. It also deals with the ideology of the past which has been restructured to the present situation. The main goal of postcolonial literature is to express the colonizer’s way and how they control the people and undermine their power upon their own land. This process made a lot of changes in nature. Consequently, human beings make nature as their dwelling source. At some point of the postcolonial period, humans who play the anthropocentric role destroy nature. Nature supports man since man supports nature. Man destroys nature for greed and for his day by day cause. Due to the fact when man misplaced the honor toward nature it happens that the nature is destroyed.
