The Well-Tempered Critic (graded)
In grammar school, you were asked to summarize what a story, poem, play, or essay was about. The emphasis was merely on understanding plot. In high school, you began to deepen your understanding of literature by looking beyond the plot to theme, character development, symbolism, and applications and connections to life.
In college, we take this to the next level and begin to understand a variety of critical approaches that deepen our understanding of any text on many levels: Freudian, historical, feminist, deconstructive, and hermeneutical approaches. We will begin by defining some of these approaches and then by applying them to a specific literary text.
