Why Should We Interpret Literature?

Although the interpretation of literature can be challenging, it may also provide
unique and important rewards. Authors of fiction, poetry, or drama choose literature for
their expression because they believe that there are at least two valid sides to any major
issue--not just a simple right and wrong. Reading and interpreting literature, then,
nourishes us with a sense of the complexity of life's deepest mysteries-- love, hate,
death, conflicts between the individual and society, and so on--so that when we
approach these problems we do so with greater self-awareness and greater tolerance for
the views of others. We may react angrily to a news feature about physically abused
children. Still. when we read a story like James Joyce's "Counterparts" we are asked to
understand (without necessarily excusing such an action) the reasons why an adult
would hit a harmless child. When we interpret literature at this level, we are taking what
we already know about human nature and adding in the author’s experience and wisdom
of the author (even if we don't share all of the author's convictions). Interpretation then
is a social act--we bring to it all of our past experiences with people, and we come away
with an even richer, more complex understanding.

What is Literary Criticism?

Literary criticism is an extension of this social activity of interpreting. One reader
writes down his or her views on what a particular work of literature means so that others
can respond to that interpretation. The critic's specific purpose may be to make value
judgements on a work, explain his or her interpretation of the work, or 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 dialogue or debate with other critics, using other critics’
views to develop their points. Unfortunately, when critics assume that their readers are
already familiar with previous criticism, the argument may be difficult to follow.

What Is It
Critiquing a literary selection is challenging because it will push
you beyond your limits to learn how to interpret a text. For this
reason, there is a need for you to develop literary skills to learn how
to assess valid information.

There are various ways on how to critique a literary text. In this Module, you will learn
the six approaches to critiquing a literary selection.

1. Structuralist/formalist – studies a text as a “self-contained object” where generally it

emphasizes the form of the work. In this approach, it focuses on the following:
(a) form of each individual part of the text, that includes the individual chapters
and scenes, (b) characters, (c) setting, (d) tone, the point of view, (e) diction and
all other elements. The critic underlines on how these elements: point of view,
setting, characters, plot, symbols and theme work together to give sense to the
text (Writing a Formalist Literary Analysis. Accessed September 1, 2020).
2. Moralist – judges literary works, according to moral principles. Essentially, it is not
demanding or ‘moralizing’ in its technique, although it is probable; nor does it
unavoidably suggest a Christian vantage point, although it frequently does
(“Moral Criticism.” Oxford Reference. Accessed September 2, 2020).
3. Marxist – scrutinizes the text as “an expression of contemporary class struggle.” It is
grounded on Karl Marx’s theories, wherein it concerns on the insinuations and
snags of the capitalist system. In this approach, literature is regarded not simply
as a matter of personal taste or expression. It unquestionably focuses on political
and social conditions. Marxist literary critics would abide on the following
inquiries: Is the text a mirror of social values? Is it a form of propaganda for the
ruling classes? Can literature challenge social norms (“Intro to Marxist Literary
Theory.” The Nature of Writing, August 3, 2020)?
4. Feminist – examines the text in the context of recognizing women’s knowledge in
literary concepts, and in terms of valuing their experiences. While reading a text,
a feminist literary critic contests traditional standards or outlooks. It involves the
following fundamental methods: Identifying with female characters and
reevaluating literature and the world in which literature is read. Additionally,
“Feminist literary criticism is distinguished from gynocriticism because feminist
literary criticism may also analyze and deconstruct literary works of men.”
(Napikoski, Linda. “What Is Feminist Literary Criticism?” ThoughtCo. Accessed
August 29, 2020).

5
 5. Historical – analyzes literary text by using historical events and evidences, that include
information about the author’s life, historical and social circumstances. (“Historical
Criticism.” Encyclopædia Britannica. Encyclopædia Britannica, inc. Accessed December
10, 2020. https://www.britannica.com/art/historical-criticism-literary-criticism). This
approach also “seeks to understand a literary work by investigating the social, cultural,
and intellectual context that produced it—a context that necessarily includes the artist’s
biography and milieu.” (“Critical Approaches to Literature.” --- CRITICAL
APPROACHES TO LITERATURE ---. Accessed December 10, 2020.
http://home.olemiss.edu/~egjbp/spring97/litcrit.html.).
6. Reader-response – “Typically, Reader-response criticism revolves around the phenomena
‘Respond to Reading’. The theory identifies the reader as a significant and active agent
who is responsible to impart the real meaning of the text by interpreting it. The modern
school of thought argues on the existing perception of the literature. According to it,
literature is like a performing art that enables reader creates his own text-related unique
performance.” (“A Brief Guide to Reader-Response Criticism.” A Research Guide for
Students, August 22, 2018).

_____ 7. Study The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. This book takes place in
the American South in the 19th century and follows a white boy, Huck, as he helps a
black slave, Jim, escape his situation. Here we've got quite a bit more detail. Instead
of just two large classes, society is divided into several smaller ones (Study.com.
Accessed August 28, 2020).

_____ 8. Judith Little and Megan S. Lloyd argue that Alice is a “literally underground image of
a woman” battling the “system.” Still, they also view Alice’s insistence, activity, and
curiosity as typically “Un-Victorian” traits that make her an example of a seditious
woman. But for Lloyd, Alice can also be considered as an ideal role model for any
society simultanenously (Criticism of ‘Alice’. Accessed August 17, 2020).
_____ 9. Samuel Johnson once stressed in his novel entitled, The History of Rasselas, Prince
of Abissinia the following words: “I have here the world before me; I will review it at
leisure: surely happiness is somewhere to be found… Happiness must be something
solid and permanent, without fear and without uncertainty.” He simply recounts the
story of a prince ‘who escapes from the valley of happiness,’ to search for perpetual
bliss. However, he realizes that this kind of happiness does not exist (“Moral -
Examples and Definition of Moral.” Literary Devices, May 28, 2017).

_____ 10. Through Phoenix’s strenuous journey in the wild country of Natchez Trace, Eudora
Welty uses her protagonist to symbolically show the struggle of African-Americans
toward equality and integration in the South after the Civil War (Writing a Formalist
Literary Analysis. Accessed September 1, 2020).

My Hollywood
“It was a pleasure to work on your book, My Hollywood. As a reader I learned a
great deal about the impact of consumer culture on women and the empty feminine ideals
it promotes. And I learned much about you, a writer, thinker, and woman who has been
brave enough to pull all the stops and reflect on your upbringing and analyze the forces
that have influenced your life. The voice you write with is smart, wisecracking, and honest;
a voice that young women today can relate with. I think your book will speak to many
women who struggle with the same issues you once faced [...] in the process of becoming
a Hollywood desirable.” (“Sample Critique.” The Artful Editor. Accessed December 13,

B. Directions: Analyze the sample critique: “The X Game.” Answer the questions that follow.
Write your answer on a separate sheet.

“This has all the elements of a classic horror story. From the beginning, the main
character, a leader of a mysterious order, turns off the security system inside the manor,
immediately cueing the reader that the protagonist is about to do something clandestine.
There is an underground tunnel and secret doors, and rumors of frightful things inside the
forest. By the end of the prologue, it’s clear from the tropes you use that this is a horror
story with Gothic elements, and that from this point on, things are only going to get
worse—in a delicious, thrilling way.” (“Sample Critique.” The Artful Editor. Accessed
