Metaphors in The Vegetarian: An Ecolinguistic Analysis

This paper discusses the role of metaphor in constructing ecological discourse in The Vegetarian by Han Kang. The study reveals how metaphors related to vegetarianism and nature reflect the protagonist’s rebellion against societal norms and her pursuit of ecological authenticity and demonstrates how The Vegetarian criticizes the alienation of modern society from nature and advocates for deeper connections with the environment.
