A Study of The Grapes of Wrath from the Perspective of Ecocriticism

Abstract

This paper intends to use the theory of eco-criticism to analyze the various problems presented in The Grapes of Wrath, so as to explore the ecological view embodied by John Steinbeck in this work, and to discuss the practical significance shown by John Steinbeck’s ecological point of view. This paper studies both the crisis between man and ecology and the crisis between man and man. Through a comprehensive analysis of ecological thoughts in these three aspects, we can realize the author’s pursuit and yearning for harmonious ideas.
