DISCUSSION

Critiquing a literary selection involves several frames that one

must consider before analyzing and interpreting the text
material’s content. It involves various approaches that will
somehow serve as tools to analyze the literary concepts
objectively. There are various ways on how to critique a literary
text.

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 theory can be applied to literature by analyzing the
social, economic and political elements such as class division,
class struggle, and oppression.
A Marxist reading of Cinderella
Cinderella has no wealth and her only hope is to marry the
prince. Class structure with Cinderella (poor) who does all the
work, Step Sisters (middle class) who yearn to marry the rich
prince, prince (wealthy) who controls the power in the kingdom
decides who he will marry.

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.
A feminist literary critic resists traditional assumptions while
reading. In addition to challenging assumptions which were
thought to be universal, feminist literary criticism actively
supports including women's knowledge in literature and valuing
women's experiences.

" The Yellow Wallpaper"

by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The story can be interpreted as a critique of the way in which
society views and treats women who deviate from traditional
gender roles. “The Yellow Wallpaper" offers a powerful
feminist critique of the patriarchal society of the late 19th
century and the detrimental effects it had on women's mental
health and well-being.

Historical – analyzes literary text by using historical events and

pieces of evidence, that include information about the author’s
 life, historical and social circumstances. 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.

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 the reader to
create his own text-related unique performance.

Naturalism takes a deterministic view of the world and the

forces surrounding humans. Shows how humans are dictated by
their behaviors and environment. Natural forces of both society
and heredity govern the world, and only the strongest will
survive.
