Ecocriticism is a critical theory that examines how nature is represented in literary works and the relationship between literature and the natural environment. Ecocriticism examines how human interaction with the natural world is portrayed in literary works. This research paper examines Kiran Desai’s award-winning second book, The Inheritance of Loss (2006), from an environmental-critical perspective. Her depictions of flora and fauna enrich her novels. The document not only raises awareness of environmental and social concerns, but also serves as a warning against the threatening aspects of nature by highlighting the destruction caused by nature’s imbalances. The novel contains extensive elements of environmental importance. The author’s description is made more descriptive by including images depicting many parts of the natural world.
