Beyond Anthropocentrism: Reciprocal Living and the Ethics of Co-Existence in E.B White’s Writing

Author(s) Mrs. Sonakshi Sharma, Dr. Rana Zaidi
Country India
Abstract The canon of E. B. White offers a sustained meditation on the ethical, emotional, and imaginative possibilities of communion between human and animal life. This research paper examines how E.B White negotiates human–animal duality and balance across his major fictional works—Charlotte’s Web, Stuart Little, and The Trumpet of the Swan—alongside selected nonfiction essays. Through a nuanced use of anthropomorphism, grounded in biological realism, White resists anthropocentric hierarchies and instead presents animals as moral agents capable of empathy, sacrifice, and communication. His narratives blur rigid species boundaries while preserving animal difference, thereby advancing a vision of coexistence based on reciprocity rather than dominance. Drawing on ecocritical and posthuman perspectives, the study argues that White’s representation of interspecies relationships foregrounds ethical stewardship, shared vulnerability, and mutual dependence within a living ecosystem. By situating human responsibility within a broader moral community that which includes non-human beings, E.B White’s work anticipates contemporary ecological thought and challenges readers to reconsider the balance between human authority and animal autonomy. Ultimately, the paper positions E. B. White, as a writer whose imaginative engagement with animal functions not merely as children’s literature, but as a profound ethical inquiry into interspecies communion.
