Ecological imbalance is prevalent everywhere. We can only preserve the environment by establishing harmony between man and nature. Nature is now powerless and helpless due to our materialistic, comfortable, and consumerist civilization. Environmental abuse has been an important issue in the present scenario. Our consumption habits have become so extreme that they are harming the environment for us. For our own consumption, we are indiscriminately harming natural resources. We have abused nature’s gifts, to the point where they are now all in danger. Abundance is synonymous with nature but it is not for the greed and profit of man. Unbalanced by greed, nature assumes an angry form, and then everything is destroyed. The duty of explaining the status of the social situation and exposing the decadence and injustice of society falls to the author, who attempts to express reality objectively and im-personally. The writers embody a sense of ecological responsibility and agency, reflecting the potential of literature as a medium for promoting environmental awareness and activism. Thus, the worry and consciousness about the environment have been examined in this paper through an analytical study of the short stories, “The Bear” by William Faulkner, “The Birthmark” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Alice Munro’s “Boys and Girls”.
