"CRITICAL RESPONSES on LITERARY APPROACHES"

PREFACE

This book “Critical Responses to Literary Approaches” is a compilation of my exploration papers in my subject “Literary Criticism”. It has been written to be used as a reference for individuals who wish to search for critical analysis on the following movies: (1) Mad Love, (2) The Unsaid, (3) The Pianist and (4) Naked Weapon. Each movie has its application of approaches; Psychoanalytic Approach on the movie Mad Love; Archetypal Approach on the movie The Unsaid; Cultural Materialism Approach on The Pianist; and Feminine Approach on the movie Naked Weapon. It is appropriate for students enrolled in a Literary Criticism course, for those who are writing an exploration paper or dissertation, and for those who are lovers of literature. They should understand and think deeply about what is the concept of the movie, the purpose of the writer in writing such literary works and how to analyze such piece of writing. They should be able to use this knowledge to critically analyze the literary works that appear in movie houses, in our home and videos.

Literary Criticism is the discussion of literature, including description, analysis, interpretation and evaluation of literary works. Critical analysis is attained only through the combination of critical thinking and the urge to study such literary work. Students may find it exciting and interesting to read literary works at the same time they will know how to value world’s literary piece of art.

This book features the problems related to certain approaches, diagrams, analysis, summary of the story and the author’s conclusions, implications and recommendations.

This book is made for everyone. Enjoy reading!
