Literary Theory: 

The body of concepts and methods we utilize in the practice of reading literature is referred to as literary theory.

Now, I will discuss five literary theories and 
highlight three key themes from each.

Liberal Humanism :

*Based on man's nature and the effects of his flaws on society.

*It reveals a universal or constant truth about humanity.

* It holds the belief that the world can be managed and ordered.


Ecocriticism:
*Ecocriticism is the study of the connections between culture and the world beyond humanity.

*Cultural studies are approached from an Earth-centered, ecological standpoint.

*It emphasizes the human-nature relationship, including how humans affect nature and how nature affects humans.


Structuralism :
*Text can not be understood in isolation

*Analyse a text in terms of the larger context

*Interpret literature with underlying meanings.

Post Structuralism :
* This theory is a rebellion against the structuralism.

*The study of the text's fundamental structures.

* Utilizes analytical concepts from linguistics, psychology, anthropology and other fields. 


 Deconstruction:

*Deconstruction is usually given through a close examination of a certain text.

*Deconstruction has at least two aspects: literary and philosophical.

*Deconstruction has had an enormous influence in psychology, literary theory, cultural studies, linguistics, feminism, sociology and anthropology.

These are the five theories that I'd want to discuss in this feedback topic. 

Thank you.
