Abstract: Literature is considered to be the highest form of human achievement which marks the human race better than other animals on the planet. It helps humanity to have multiple perspectives and celebrate life. But the other side of the coin is the cruel nature of the race to destroy the voiceless for its own pleasure. In this paper, the researcher aims to analyze R. K. Narayan’s novel A Tiger for Malgudi to enquire how literature works as a mirror to the species to realize its own mistakes. The researcher uses textual analysis methodology to dissect the ideas from the text which highlight the anthropocentric nature of humans.
Keywords: Anthropocentrism, Anthropomorphism, Marginalized, Malgudi.
