The African myth of creation portrays the human person as intrinsically relational, a being-with-others. Nature is personified as a mother, the environment is revered as maternal, and the creative force emerges from the interconnectedness among all beings with mother qualified as supreme. However, in many critical works, studies are conducted only on one dimension. Either it is on the human person or the natural environment leading to imbalanced results. This is where comes the originality of this article to demonstrate the interconnections that exist between the human person and the natural environment as depicted in fiction. It lays much emphasis on the similar relationships that exist between women and nature, how they are exploited and the need to fight for their protection. This ecological worldview is vividly represented in African literature through characters depiction and how environment is personified in female form, notably in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart and Flora Nwapa’s Efuru. Through a critical reading of these texts, this article establishes a conceptual foundation for reimagining human relationships with the natural world as it finds itself in the feminine identity. The personification of the earth in Things Fall Apart as goddess, the depiction of the woman of the lake in Efuru and how characters relate to them are symbols central to the analysis. For the exploration, the article uses ecofeminism and African humanism as its theoretical framework for ecological integration rooted in African communal and ecological life. From this article, it results that the human person and the natural environment are interconnected. A peaceful interaction between them can lead to a peaceful coexistence in the African ecology as represented in literature through the myth of creation.
