The damaged woman in the damaged environment: An ecofeminist critique of Kaine Agary’s Yellow-Yellow (2006)

This paper is an analysis of the connection between the violation of the woman and the degradation of the environment in Kaine Agary’s Yellow Yellow. The researcher has done this by illustrating how the female bears the direct brunt of the destruction of her econiche and by explicating how the ideology of patriarchy is responsible for the destruction of the environment and the emasculation of the female characters in Yellow Yellow. The emphasis here is to recognize the interconnectedness of all life, and to counter all unhealthy relationships geared towards the oppression of women and the environment. Drawing insights from Vandana Shiva’s critique of patriarchal capitalism, we may argue firmly that ecology is a feminist issue. The paper concludes that there is an urgent need for humans to move beyond power-based relationships if we must achieve an egalitarian society and a healthy environment. Additionally, we must emphasize the interdependence of all life
