Abstract

Arundhati Roy’s exploration of anthropocentric ego versus the ecosystem challenges readers to reexamine their relationship with nature and each other. Her narratives blend rich imagery, complex characters, and ethical dilemmas, inviting introspection and dialogue about humanity’s role in preserving planetary health and biodiversity. By confronting anthropocentric biases and advocating for eco-ethical frameworks, Roy’s works inspire environmental stewardship and holistic approaches to sustainability.
