  • Abstract:
  • If how an individual one’s idea can change the notion of the whole world is taken to be an example, then one of the best examples must be the idea of Rachel Carson’s ‘Silent Spring’. Her idea against the indiscriminate use of pesticide by greedy profit-making industrialists compelled the whole world to take note of it seriously and thereby making international laws to protect our environment from the bad repercussion of pesticides. She can be considered as a champion of ecocriticism in the literary field of ecocriticism. So, this paper tries to bring out the literary taste of the first chapter of the Silent Spring, ‘The Fable for Tomorrow’ with the help of some common features of literature and at the same time the paper also tries to promote the reading of the book, at least the first chapter, worldwide, so that one can get inspiration from it and can give new ideas to solve the current environmental problems the world is facing now.
