Thank you class! Before we go to our

topic which is the Moralist Approach,
we will first discuss the Elements of a
Story.

1. Plot: The sequence of events

that make up the story.

2. Characters: The individuals or

entities who drive the story
forward through their actions,
dialogue, and interactions.

3. Setting: The time and place in

which the story occurs.

4. Conflict: The central problem or

struggle that drives the plot
forward and creates tension.

5. Point of View: The perspective

from which the story is told.

6. Tone: The attitude or mood

conveyed by the author toward
the subject matter or characters
of the story.
 7. Theme: The central idea or
message that the story conveys.
Themes often explore universal
truths about human nature,
society, or the world and can be
inferred through the events,
characters, and conflicts in the
story.

So, do you have any questions

regarding the Elements of a Story? None, ma’am.

Brilliant! So, one can discover the world

The most important thing that a

others? Does anybody have a different
answer?

Let’s illustrate what “moral” is

through a web map.

Considering the universal truth or

morals, it can be used to assess the
different kinds of literary texts, and
this is what we call the Moralist
Approach.

Moralist Approach is a type of

literary critique that judges the value
of the literature based on its moral or
ethical teachings.

What are the principles of moralist 1. Morality can be a body of standards

literary approach? or principles derived from a code of
conduct from a particular philosophy,
religion or culture, or it can be derived
from a standard that a person believes
should be universal. Morality may also

What are the considerations in writing
a moralist criticism?
F. Developing Now that we’ve finished discussing
mastery what a Moralist Approach to Literature
(leads to is. I want to ask you some questions.

Assessment) For you, what role does moral value
play in literature, and how does it
influence readers' understanding of life
and human character?
What is the Moralist Approach to
literary critique, and how does it differ
from other approaches?
be specifically synonymous with
"goodness" or "rightness".
2. Quality of human acts by which we
call them right or wrong, good or evil.
(Panizo, 1964)
3. Human action is right when it
conforms with the norm, rule or law of
morality.
1.This approach stresses the close
reading of the text with sensitivity to
the words and their various meanings.
2. It searches for structures, patterns,
imagery and motifs, and figurative
language along with the juxtaposition
(the fact of two things being seen or
placed close together with contrasting
effect) of scenes, tone, and other
literary techniques in order to come to
conclusions about the meaning of the
work and insists that all statements
about the work be supported by
references to the text.
3. Moral criticism evaluates the ethical
content of literary works. However,
these critics evaluate the work in its
totality, not passages taken out of
context.
The role of moral values in literature is
significant as it serves to convey
lessons, ethical teachings, and insights
into human behavior and societal
norms. Moral values in literature help
readers contemplate and evaluate the
choices, actions, and consequences
depicted in the narrative, thereby
enriching their understanding of life
and human character. By exploring
moral dilemmas, ethical complexities,
and universal truths, literature prompts
readers to reflect on their own values,
beliefs, and experiences, fostering
empathy, critical thinking, and personal
growth.
The Moralist Approach to literary
critique focuses on evaluating the moral
or ethical content of literature. Unlike
other approaches that may prioritize
aesthetic qualities, historical context, or
structural elements, the Moralist
Approach places emphasis on the
ethical teachings and messages
 conveyed by literary works. It seeks to
determine whether a piece of literature
promotes virtuous principles, offers
meaningful insights into human
behavior, or contributes to readers'
moral development.
G. Making So the highlights of today’s discussion
generalizatio are:
ns and
abstractions Moralist Approach to Literary Critique
about the is an approach that assesses the value
lesson of literature based on its moral or
ethical teachings. It focuses on the
ethical content of literary works and
evaluates whether they promote
virtuous principles or lead readers
astray.

While the Principles of a Moralist

Literary Approach is due to the fact that
morality is multifaceted, drawing from
diverse sources like philosophy,
religion, culture, and personal
convictions, often linked with ideas of
"goodness" or "rightness." Evaluating
the quality of human actions hinges on
perceptions of right versus wrong, good
versus evil. Actions are deemed morally
correct when they adhere to established
moral norms, rules, or laws.

Therefore, you have considerations in

Writing a Moral Criticism which are:

1. Close reading of the text is

emphasized, paying attention to
the nuances of language and
meaning.
2. Analysis involves identifying
structures, patterns, imagery,
motifs, and literary techniques
to discern the meaning of the
work.
3. Moral criticism evaluates the
ethical content of the entire
literary work, emphasizing the
importance of considering the
work as a whole rather than
isolated passages.
