The present paper will discuss the different problems that exist, nowadays, between the environment and human beings, their difficulty to coexist, and mostly the ethical issues that result from it. Dharanidhar Wary in his novel ‘The Hunt’ has given a vivid description of the conflict of man with that of environment and nature. It has been narrated in the novel that a section of people have been residing in a village adjacent to the Manas National Park since time immemorial. These people use the various resources of the nearby forest for their livelihood. The protagonist of the novel is also one of them and during his early period of life he used to hunt the animals such as deer, pigmy hog etc.of the forest to earn his livelihood. He sells the hunted animals in the nearby market. But the same animal hunter becomes the protector of the forest and wild lives when one day he joined as a forester in the same forest.Thus the novelist Dharanidhar Wary has portrayed two types of character and people in the novel. One section is trying to nurture the nature though they collect their needful resources from the forest; on the other hand another section of people has adopted unfair means for their livelihood by poaching and illegally carrying timbers. The present paper will also discuss the various ways by which a peaceful co-existence of man and nature is possible with reference to the above-mentioned novel.
