A Dual-Criticism Look at The Birthmark Literature is many things: provoking‚ heartwarming‚ emotional‚ traumatic‚ poetic‚ maybe even life-changing. Literature can also be incredibly ambiguous. While literature can be “simply read”‚ when one takes a step back and looks at a piece through specific lenses‚ the work can take on an incredibly different‚ deeper meaning. Taking the lead of criticisms such as formalist‚ psychoanalytical‚ biological‚ feminist‚ Marxist‚ etc.‚ one can dig deeper into a text

spilled over the question of whether the world-view of archetypal auteur Stanley Kubrick is nihilistic or not‚ and appropriately so. To my mind‚ this is one of the most important questions we can ask about genuine artists and their oeuvres.

Social Criticism in William Blake’s “The Chimney Sweeper” ‘The Chimney Sweeper’ by William Blake criticises child labour and especially society that sees the children’s misery but chooses to look away and it reveals the change of the mental state of those children who were forced to do such cruel work at the age of four to nine years. It shows the change from an innocent child that dreams of its rescue to the child that has accepted its fate. Those lives seem to oppose each other and yet if one reads
