An Eco-feministic Perspective in Margaret Atwood’s The Blind Assassin

Abstract

Margaret Atwood is one of the most prominent writers on the present day Canadian literary scene. Her tenth novel ‘The Blind Assassin’ had won the Booker prize award in the new millennium. It is strewn with nature and symbolically associated with women in several circumstances. This paper focuses on Eco-feminism under three important theoretical approaches. Viz. Empirical, Conceptual or Cultural and Epistemological. It is found that women characters in the novel have rich experience of nature than men since sufferings lead to gain more knowledge about nature.
