10. Summary of the thesis results:

While approaching a literary work based on genre and theme is commonplace in literary studies, an ecological criticism approach is relatively new and has not received much attention from scholars, especially in Vietnam. Research from an ecological criticism perspective will contribute to a more diverse interdisciplinary viewpoint by placing a literary work in relation to natural issues, thus understanding the relationship and role of literature and art in relation to the ecological environment. From this, we can gain a more complete and comprehensive understanding of the content and artistic value of the work.

10.Summary of the results of the thesis:

If approaching a literary work by genre, the topic is too familiar in literature research, the approach towards ecological criticism is quite a new thing that has not been interested, especially by scholars in Vietnam. Ecological research criticism will add to a more diverse interdisciplinary view when we place a literary work in relation to nature's issues to see the relationship as well as the role of artistic literature with the ecological environment. Since then, there is a more complete and comprehensive view of the content and art value of the work.

The theme "Ecological ambiguity in Pi's Life (Yann Martel)" goes deep into understanding the relationship between people and nature. Thereby, this thesis highlights the awareness of human as well as how to practice human ecology with non-human animals and with different ecological environments. Not only at clarifying the ecological ambiguities in the process of impacting on nature but the topic also delves into the issues of ecological ecology so as to explain the moral behavior of people with nature.

11.Practical applicability:

The results of the thesis will provide a more complete overview of Yann Martel's Life of Pi novels from the perspective of ecological criticism. From there, it helps people have a view to question their ecological practices on nature and redefine the role and value of nature in human life. At the same time, affirming the role of the writer in bringing ecological issues into literary works.

The understanding and evaluation of the essay on Pi's Life from the perspective of ecological criticism will hopefully become a reference for those who love the work of foreign literature as well as ecological criticism. At the same time, the author of the thesis has more experience in sensing and evaluating literary works.
