Dr. Suresh Frederick says:
Ecocriticism is an interdisciplinary subject. Knowledge of life science is essential to study literature through this criticism. Ecocriticism is totally opposed to the anthropocentric view, i.e., the human-centered view, subscribed to by many human beings. It supports the biocentric view. The human-centered view is beneficial to humans but the biocentric view is beneficial to both humans and the biosphere. (Balachandran 14)

Dr. Suresh Frederick says, “Ecocriticism helps human beings to have a broader view of nature. It urges humans to have a biocentric view despite their apparently incorrigible anthropocentrism due to their selfish nature”(Selvamony 136 ).
