WHAT IS LITERARY CRITICISM

Source: http://www.sdst.org/shs/library/whatislit.html

"Authors present us with work that can have multiple meanings, expecting us to consider thoughtfully--to interpret...  Good criticism can help us develop a better understanding of a work.  It can help us develop a point of view about a work, whether or not we agree with the opinions of the critic. "

"Literary criticism is the act of interpreting literature. "

Infact it is clear, narrator wants to show this gruesome fact that nature is ruthless when it comes to taking revenge.
