The aim of this paper is to interpret self-defense, which is treated as a juristic topic, from Edward Ricketts’s ecological angle after analogizing the novel The Lifeboat and the movie Lifeboat to facilitate my analysis of instinct and justice. In fact, the book by Charlotte Rogan is usually discussed in the context of female leadership in a distressing accident that happened in World War I while the film was intended to contribute to the purpose of war propaganda during World War Ⅱ, made up by the two mavericks, John Steinbeck (original story writer) and Alfred Hitchcock (director). Nevertheless, both the works are worthy of being in the same boat in terms of characterization and plot, especially the survivors’ resistance to their deceptive leaders, Hardie and Willie. After observing these, I discuss Ricketts’s ecological theories: non-teleological thinking means not jumping to a conclusion; holism admits that the whole is different than the sum of its parts; and breaking through lets the parties interested consider all the theses honestly. Through this analysis, I find that such thinking methods may compensate for the shortcomings of legal judgment.
