Some theorists argue that literary critics should strive to be value-neutral in their literary criticism. █████ █████████ ████████ ████ ██ ████████ ███ ███████ ██ ████████ █████ ███████ ██████████ █████ ███████ ████ ██████ ███████ ██ ████ █████ ███ █████████ █████ ███ ██████ ███████ ███ ████████ █████████ ██████ ██ ██████████ ██████████████ █████ ████ █████████ ███ ████████ █████ ████ ██ ██ ███████████ ████ ███ ████████ ██████████
Summary
The author concludes that literary critics should NOT try (strive) to be value-neutral in their literary criticism. This is based on the fact that literary criticism cannot be completely value-neutral.
If you didn’t understand the conclusion in the way described above, then you probably didn’t translate what it means for the theorists to be “mistaken about what is an appropriate goal for literary criticism.” The first sentence said the theorists argue that striving to be value-neutral was an appropriate goal. If those theorists are mistaken, that means striving to be value-neutral is NOT an appropriate goal.
Missing Connection
Does the fact that literary critics can’t be value-neutral prove that they shouldn’t TRY to be value-neutral? No. Why shouldn’t we strive for the impossible? To make the argument valid, we want to establish that if something can’t be done, then literary critics shouldn’t try to do it.
