This website is a collection of information and application of different areas within critical theory. The importance of critical theory is that it reminds readers that there are multiple viewpoints and allows them to grasp the process of understanding the underlying human experience. The theories help readers develop the intellectual tools with which they can understand the world they live in and seek positive change.
The critical theories chosen to cover are Structuralist criticism, Deconstructive criticism, Psychoanalytic criticism, Marxist criticism, Feminist criticism, Queer criticism, and African American criticism. Through these theories and applications I was able to recognize elements relatable to every aspect of life, not just literature.
