This research paper analyses the notion of Cornucopia with reference to Don Delillo’s’s novel Underworld. During the course of this study an attempt has been made to ascertain that Delillo takes up the eco-critical position of Cornucopia along with other positions while discussing the non-human environment in his novel. Moreover, the psychological study of the environment conscious characters has also been done. The study explores whether the environmentally cognizant people completely conform to the theory of cornucopia or not.
