WHAT IS LITERARY CRITICISM?

Source: sdst.org/shs/library/whatislit.html

"Authors present us with work that can have multiple meanings, expecting us to consider thoughtfully--to interpret...  Good criticism can help us develop a better understanding of a work.  It can help us develop a point of view about a work, whether or not we agree with the opinions of the critic. "
"Literary criticism is the act of interpreting literature. "

Hetty Sorrel (Who is she?)

She was never meant to go through all this misery. But it seems nature was adamant in performing her task. Her forceful act of mating. No matter how cruel it looks like. She went down the road set by nature only to find, dead end, dead end for everything she wanted. A happy, rich, healthy and love filled life.

Infact it is clear, narrator wants to show this gruesome fact that nature is ruthless when it comes to taking revenge.

Hetty Sorrel, leading female character, in Adam Bede - the famous Novel of George Elliot.

PORTRAIT OF AN ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN

--O, Stephen will apologize.

Dante said:

--O, if not, the eagles will come and pull out his eyes.--
