Abstract

The thrust of this paper is to throw light on man and nature’s interplay framed in stimulus-response mode. More importantly, it shows that man’s ecocentric behavior towards nature triggers off the environing world’s welcoming reaction towards him. Parallelwise, anthropocentric raids against the ecosphere sets off a wide range of ecological unrests that threatens man’s own security. In a comparative study of Brink’s An Instant in the Wind and Cape of Storms: the First Life of Adamastor: a Story ecocriticism helps to highlight the relationship between literature and the physical environment, with an emphasis on the continuum between man and his environment in a first instance. And in a second instance, this literary theory aids in exploring the broken nexus between humans and nonhumans.
