Abstract

This research work explores the interconnection between nature and women in Lawrence’sLady Chatterley’s Lover to understand how they are interlinked to each other in relation to the theoretical insight of ecofeminism. The concern to the nature- woman interrelationship and the way of treating nature and women in man superior industrialized society make the need for this research. As nature and women are the victims of patriarchal social structure, they face common suppression and oppression as a result of patriarchal thoughts. The nature-women relationship has been over looked in the light of eco-feministperspective: at heory that searches common ground of nature and women in patriarchal society. The research method consists theoretical in sightof relevant eco-feminists like Susan Griffin, Carolyn Merchant, Val Plumwood and others scholarly journals. The findings from this research show that modern men are unable to hear woe from nature. Man could not connect with nature the way woman can relate with their sorrow and unheard voice and that is because nature and women both share victimized position in society. The significance of such a bonding between nature and women helps to understand that they are interlinked as an important entity by sharing some common values. The conclusion of this research is that the environmental and feminist issues are equal at present.This can be well addressed by foregrounding the multiple voices of eco-feminist theorists who focus on the concern of nature-women interrelationship.
