Many of his points have become fundamental tenets of modern criticism; others give greater insight into Johnson’s prejudices than into Shakespeare’s genius. The resonant prose of the preface adds

In the article Find the coaching in criticism‚ Heen and Stone propose that the main reason why it can be difficult receiving feedback from others stems from the “tension between two core human needs—the need to learn and grow‚ and the need to be accepted just the way you are” (2‚ Heen and Stone).
