    Types of Literary Criticism
    1. Formalism is the analysis that displays how the different
    parts of a literary piece is put together to create a whole new
    paper that forms each individual part of a literary piece.
    A formalist critic analyses:
    How the work is structured or organized (formed)
    - How the parts relate to one another and work as a whole
    - The language of the literary piece
    - Style of the writing
    - Literary devices such as imageries, similes, metaphors,
    ironies, paradox, etc.
    Types of Literary Devices
    2. Deconstructivism critiques the text’s structure, symbols and other
    disclosed ideas that serves as a beauty of indistinctive event focus to show
    how the different ideas within the text undermine the stability of the literary
    work.
    For Binary Opposition (ex. Good/bad)
    - Focus on the oppositions within the text, show how these terms are related.
    - Subvert the hierarchization of terms to make the text mean the opposite of
    what it
    originally appeared to mean.
    - Observe that both terms of the opposition become mutually intertwined and
    are releases from their oppositional conflict into a ‘free play’ of non-
    hierarchical, non-stable multitude of meaning
