Abstract

Eco-feminist critique is one of the new approaches in sociological studies that seeks to gain a relationship of women’s relationship with nature. This theory is based on the fact that oppression of women is intertwined with oppression of nature.

Although this attitude is not well known, many text of Persian literature can be analyzed from this point of view. All the works of ravanipour are suitable for eco-feminist criticism due to the author’s sympathy whit the women trapped in the patriarchal society on the one hand and her love for the nature and her concern for that in the industrial society on the other hand.

The research showed that in the eco- feminist analysis the main character of the story and the orang tree are affected by the oppressive authorities of patriarchal society, and this influence can be analyzed in the tree by drying up and in Afsaneh’s mater by her death. On the other hand the dynamic character of in that patriarchal structure , in order to deal with that, changes the course of her life during the story and turns from a weak women at the beginning to a powerful women at the end.The novel contained many eco-feminist components due to the caring and empathetic behavior of the main character of the story with the orange tree, which is a symbol of femininity, and the connection between the two in showing similar reactions to the oppression of the misogynistic society.
