A Study of the Relationship between Women and Nature in Boomika and Flute in the Forest

Dr. Sunitha Anilkumar | Malini D Kartika

Abstract: This article delves into the intricate relationship between women and nature, examining the themes of nurturing, protection, and coexistence through the analysis of the movie Bhoomika and the novel Flute in the Forest. The study explores the depiction of physically challenged but empowered female characters who strive to safeguard the environment despite their own marginalization. Drawing upon ecofeminism, the article investigates how women and nature have historically been oppressed and the cinematic and literary representations that challenge these norms. The examination of characters like Bhoomika and Atiya highlights the interconnectedness of marginalized voices and the role they play in advocating for environmental balance. Through an exploration of gender dynamics, supernatural elements, and the preservation of nature, the article underscores the vital message of coexistence and the need to heed the voice of the voiceless.
