Dr. Suresh Fredrick says, “Human beings always knew that wild forests are inhabitable and that is why they looked down upon wild forests. That is why the forests are destroyed to made way for fields which would field grains. The animals are also left out” (Balachandran 13).

In this regards Dr. Suresh Frederick says:

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