1. What is the significance of studying the Approaches in Literary Criticisms?
2. 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. It usually includes discussion of the work’s content and integrates your
ideas with other insights gained from research. Literary criticism may have a positive or a negative bias
and may be a study of an individual piece of literature or an author’s body of work.
3. Although criticism may include some of the following elements in order to support an idea, literary
criticism is NOT a plot summary, a biography of the author, or simply finding fault with the literature.

work, form judgments about literature, study ideas from different points of view, and determine on an
individual level whether a literary work is worth reading.
