Abstract: in this age of technological development and ever increasing dependence upon the natural resources, the threat on environment is persistent. The environmentalists come up with the threats of upcoming disasters if the mitigation of the resources continues unchecked. Moreover, the increasing danger of war, nuclear threats and attacks also lurks in the background. Literature too has been influenced by such changes and the effects are reflected in the subject matter taken by the writers. Apocalyptic themes occupy an important place in the literary writings and a number of writers have dealt with such subject matter. Cormac McCarthy’s The Road also depicts similar themes, though the techniques used by McCarthy are slightly different. The paper thus explores the delineation of apocalyptic theme in McCarthy’s novel The Road

Apocalypse, Disaster, Global warming, pollution.
