z
Moralist Approach is a type of literary critique that judges the value
of the
literature based on its moral or ethical teachings.
Its concern is not only to discover meaning but also to determine
whether works of literature are both true and significant.
It is used to determine whether a work conveys a lesson or
message and whether it can help readers lead better lives and
improve their understanding of the world.
Using this approach, literature that is ethically sound and
virtuous is praised while literature that misguides and corrupts is
condemned.
