This research paper studies a relationship between literature and the physical world is known as eco-criticism. InEnglish Literature Eco criticism refers to specific types of texts.The word "Eco-criticism" depicts the images of nature,forests, animals, birds, seasons, rivers, cities, and flowers. In addition to novels, eco-criticism contains drama, poetry,travel books,cartoons,fables, short stories,movies, songs,games,children's stories and this is an Old English literatureconcept that's still trendy today,from Beowulf to the present writer.Animals have existed from the beginning of history.That means animals were depicted in literature since the start of history.When Christianity was introduced to the world,the Holy Bible says God created birds, animals first, at last man, it is called natural theology, and also nature is divine.Critics said,for western people's experience on earth is different from other people on the earth,Westerners believed in"Nature's uncountable sounds... have been deafening." The contrast, which is promoted by social anthropology ofanimism, highlights an element in contemporary society at large connection towards the physical world which is alsogradually becoming a central focus when it comes to the environment."The natural world is a social and culturalcategory." In animistic traditions, those few who believe that perhaps the natural environment is inspirited, not onlyhuman beings, and also for life of animals, trees, and even "inert" entities like stones. Rivers and seas are seen asarticulate and sometimes intelligible beings, capable of communicating and interacting with humankind for good andbad.There is also the language of animals,air,horses,lions,seas,trees,in the novel of Gulliver's Travels and in this novelanimal world also have politics, rules of their society, they won't allow outsiders, and have own food, medicine, thedifferent body structure of animals,these are the things we can see in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver Travels in all four books.
