An existentialist reading of the human dilemma in Ted Hughess "Lumb Chimneys"

The paper explores the paradox of human evolution, highlighting intelligence and creativity as defining traits that have led to humanity's rebellion against nature. It examines the consequences of industrial, agricultural, and technological revolutions since the 19th century, resulting in significant population growth from one billion in 1800 to over seven billion today. This rapid increase places immense strain on Earth's resources, leading to environmental degradation and resource scarcity, as humans exploit nature rather than coexist with it.
