The current paper analyzes Atwood’s The Heart Goes Last (2015) from an eco-critical viewpoint. The main concern of eco-criticism is to make a close relationship between the language of nature and literary language. Likewise, Gregory Garrard explained new ways between humans and the environment in the area of cultural spheres in 2016, though there were three waves toward this approach in the 2000s. It is significant to get more information about the natural world not only for the current environmental crisis but also for possible disasters in the future. As such, people would dream of nature in many parts of their life that will be discussed in the novel. These dreams show inner desire of people for their environment as an inevitable part of life. Apart from that, separation from nature will lead to plausible disasters in human life. Meanwhile, Atwood has described nature as a concern for global ecological concerns. The role of the ecosphere aside from the usefulness of animals would be analyzed in this paper as well. Hence, considering the most influential factors of ecology will help readers better recognize the world and will likely attempt to put the theoretical approach into practice. Manuscript profile

The presentstudy illustrates DeLillo’s Underworld from a SocialJustice perspective. In his major parks, John Rawls, a Harvard University professor, has written about a well-ordered society and a utopian world. In contrast, Don DeLillo, in Underworld, asserts, because of paranoia, waste, warfare, etc., there is no social justice today. Underworld is, in fact, an attempt to account for the emergence of paranoia as a significant feature of American national identity during the Cold War. The novel jumps between times periods ranging from 1951 to the early 1990s. The settings range across America, including New York, Arizona, and Minnesota. Individual conflicts, in this novel, occur beneath the wider context of the Cold War. Postmodern events are examined in this novel to find out if these events are compatible with the utopian world Rawls has asserted, and to explore if a just society is observed today. Paranoia, waste, and warfare are considered the central reference in this novel. Although the tone is distant and detached, DeLillo effectively evokes the Cold War mood of fear and uncertainty. Hence, the main target of this paper is to illustrate there is no social justice in this paranoid postmodern culture. Manuscript profile
