Some Feminists believe that Ecology is a specific feministic issue and they created something which can be called “Ecofeminism”. Nowadays, ecofeminism is considered as one of the major disciplines in literature. Based on the topics of ecofeminism or ecological feminism there is an important connection between the women specially women of color and non-human nature. There is also a connection between the oppression of women and nature. As a bridge to strengthen both the feminism and the ecological movements, ecofeminism seeks to end the oppression of Women and Nature. Toni Morrison, an African American woman writer and the first black woman who received the Noble prize for literature in 1993, is the rare one who thinks highly of nature in her works and praises the partnership between man and woman. The Bluest Eye is Morrison’s first novel in 1970, which fully embodies her ecological feminist ideas. Therefore, this thesis is a critical reading of Toni Morrison’s selected novel, The Bluest Eye from an ecofeminist perspective to reveal the significance of ecofeminism in the novel and evoke the reader’s awareness of ecofeminism by analyzing the ecological feminism factor such as exploring the interconnections between exploitation of nature, oppression of black women and other forms of domination.
