Critical approaches to literature help us understand how or why a
particular work is written and what its social and cultural implications
are.
CRITICAL APPROACHES (Literary Criticisms)
 Sometimes are called “lenses”, are the different perspectives we
can consider in analyzing or interpreting a text.
LITERARY CRITICISMS
 Literary criticism is the comparison, analysis, interpretation,
and/or evaluation of works of literature. Literary criticism is
essentially an opinion, supported by evidence, relating to theme,
style, setting or historical or political context. The critic's specific
purpose may be to make valued judgements on a work, to explain
his or her interpretation of the work, or to provide other readers
with relevant historical or biographical information. The critic's
general purpose, in most cases, is to enrich the reader's
understanding of the literary work. Critics typically engage in a
dialogue or a debate. Moreover, critics use the views of fellow critics
to develop their own points or perspectives.
