This study uses a postmodern ecocritical framework to analyse John Steinbeck's eco-centric worldview in the Postmodern age in his last book, The Winter of Our Discontent (1961). This ecocritical study examines the novel's themes and shows how they relate to postmodern issues like identity crises, disintegration, alienation, and ethics by focusing on man's relationship with nature. Nature declares itself to be man's "place," friend, consolation, and shelter from the rapidly changing American society of the 1950s and 1960s when capitalism and consumerism ruled culture. In the novel, Steinbeck emphasises interdependence to challenge the duality of man's superiority over nature. In this case, nature is central to a postmodern literary narrative about a man searching for a lost, fragmented identity and an escape from moral degradation. This study shows how postmodern themes of alienation, identity crisis, and moral decay influence the protagonist's search for oneness with nature, linking postmodernism and ecocriticism. |
