Rethinking the Nexus: Eco-feminist Discourse on Femininity, Nature, and the 'Other' in Morrison and Hurston’s Works
The patriarchal norm is seen as being threatened by powerful women (Normandin, 2020). This study pens down the ecofeminist discourse found in Morrison's and Hurston's literary works. This scrutiny examines how these significant writers confront the devaluation of the feminine, nature, and the "Other," focusing on Morrison's "Beloved" and "Song of Solomon" and Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God." Morrison deftly interweaves the challenges of African American women with the natural environment In a similar vein, Hurston emphasizes the interconnectedness of race, gender, and ecology in her writing, which is firmly anchored in African American folklore and tells a story that links women's experiences to the natural world. Amid social and ecological issues, this scrutiny invites readers to reevaluate the ties between women, nature, and society systems by highlighting the fundamental interconnection addressed in their works.
