Ecocriticism emerged in response to an environmental crisis and ecological spoilation which, through they became ever harder to negate in the closing decades of the 20th and 21st century. In the present time, earth undergoes several fatal environmental crises leading us to a disastrous future. This paper holds on close observation of R. K Narayan’s The Man-Eater of Malgudi through the lens of Ecocritical perspective. In the novel the cause of disturbance for abusing animals happened at the arrival of Vasu, the Taxidermist and also known as the Man Eater of Malgudi. The disorder was created by the fact that Vasu who was symbolized by his act of removing the blue curtain and peeping into the inner room of Natraj’s press. As this abuse caused by Vasu is concerned about environmental disorder and crisis, I would like to focus on different insightful and intuitive thoughts in this article in respect of Ecocritical perspectives. Keywords: Ecocriticism, Ecology, Malgudi, Environment, Nature, Catastrophe.
