Eco-Critical Harmony: Analyzing Human-Nature Dynamics in Khalil Gibran’s ‘Seven Reprimands’

Abstract

Through an eco-critical lens, this research explores the complex relationship between humans and nature, using Khalil Gibran's poem "Seven Reprimands" as a central theme. Examining the poem's moral precepts, analyzing the objections it raises, and examining how nature is portrayed in the verses are the main objectives. The study uses eco-criticism theory to shed light on how human behavior affects the natural world and encourage contemplation on how closely humans and the environment are intertwined. The method entails a thorough analysis of the literature, with an emphasis on Khalil Gibran's writings and eco-critical ideas. By means of textual analysis and attentive reading of "Seven Reprimands," the investigator aims to identify eco-critical issues and their consequences for the dynamics between humans and nature. The main conclusions highlight the mutually beneficial interaction between humans and the natural world and highlight the significant influence of environmental deterioration on human morality. This study adds to the larger conversation in ecocriticism by promoting a more thoughtful and peaceful coexistence of humans and the environment.
