This paper examines human-nonhuman relations depicted in Anton Chekhov’s story “A Day in the Country,” Lekhnath Paudyal’s poem “The Parrot in the Cage,” and Dr. Seuss’s book The Lorax from the perspective of the deep ecology, a concept developed by Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess that recognises the intrinsic value of all human and nonhuman life and emphasizes their ecological interconnectedness. In order to examine the relationship between humans and nonhumans in the selected texts, the study uses primarily the ecocentric philosophy of Arne Naess and discusses three dimensions of deep ecology: intrinsic value, self-realization, and moral obligation. The study questions anthropocentric assumptions, which prioritize human interests and view nonhuman nature primarily in terms of its usefulness to humans. The current study aims to analyse the way these texts create an alternative approach to ecological interconnectedness in terms of representation of human interaction with nonhuman nature. Using methods such as description and interpretation of texts, the researcher attempts to explore the ways the literature reveals human engagement with nonhuman world and its ethical implications. The findings show that these texts together challenge human exceptionalism in that the value is attributed to nonhuman being. Thus, “A Day in the Country” depicts the ecological interconnectedness in the form of the protagonist Terenty’s understanding of reciprocal relationships between people, animals, plants, weather, and all the other components of nature, as well as in his actions directed at taking care of the environment. On the other hand, in “The Parrot in the Cage,” anthropocentric domination is revealed by denying the bird of its freedom, agency, and intrinsic value. Finally, in The Lorax, the same thing happens with the destruction of the Truffula ecosystem and its consequences caused by ignoring ecological interconnectedness.
