Literature Question

OVERVIEW

A critic looks for the human significance, social significance, and entertainment value of the production an audience experiences. One way to get started with this concept is trying to assess the issue of what the playwright is tackling in the play. sometimes referred to as “theme” – we look for the overall message of the piece.
