The aim of the research is to explore Limón's relationship with nature as manifested in The Hurting Kind from a feminist lens. Being a qualitative study, it analyzes selected poems using textual analysis as a research method alongside a conceptual framework comprising deconstruction and feminism as a lens of literary criticism. The research has aimed to explore the binary opposition not as it applies to men and women but to animals and women and the way the two are not in direct conflict but rather runs parallel to one another in their very 'otherness'. In doing so, a potential new angle for deconstructing female oppression to its roots is introduced and touched upon. Moreover, the research has also delved into the intimate emotions of Limón, the poet, as she experienced them in crafting the poems particularly selected for this study to further cement the foundation that it seeks to challenge.
