1.Grieving over the Degradation of Nature in Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring.pdf

Abstract—Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring focuses on the loss of species as a result of toxic contamination and pesticides. The loss of nature and environment affected people and led them to grieve. The term environmental melancholia which is used by Renee Lertzman deals with the grief and mourning over the loss of nature. Therefore, the current paper intends to shed light on Silent Spring by applying Lertzman’s environmental melancholia. As people face the degradation of the nature and they are unable to take any action, they will lead to melancholia. Therefore, this paper will indicate the ways people contribute in nature saving or its improvement based on Silent Spring. Besides the article will explain how to take care of the environment and nature.
