Literature: A Criticism of Life Literature does not simply add to reality‚ but describes it. Matthew Arnold’s statement about literature being a “criticism of life” is right because literature teaches it talks about problems that the world faces daily‚ good moral lessons through criticism‚ and it shows the author commentary on things.
