[1] Judgement :-
Judgement is the first function of criticism. A critic is
not and abstract law-giver. The judgement in literature is not like the
judgement of the judicial judicial judgement are not revocable critic's
judgement is revocable. There is nothing absolutely valid or utterly valid in
criticism. The Judgement are dynamic not static.
Judgement are two critics may differ. a poet may be Famous
in one age but he may lose his fame in the next generation.
During his life time of pope he was greatly admined to be
the greatest poet. after his death critic began to question whether pope was a
poet at all.
Another problem with literary judgement is that it is very
difficult to judge a contemporary writer. It is difficult to pass judgement
when he is live and still writing. His total creation should be taken in to
consideration before passing a final judgement critic must. have a flexible
mind and unblessed criticism aims at brining out the qualities of literature
created by an individual writer.
A critic therefore has the responsibility to the reader as
he has the responsibility to the writer.
A critic should be very good student learn so many things
from criticism. A good critic can direct the writer to words better creation.
[2] Evaluation :-
Evaluation means finding out the place of the work of art
in literature. The critic is supposed to be a good student of the literature of
the past as well as of the present.
He can bring out the contribution of the artist and
determine his position in the history of literature. It go happens that these
evaluation also go on changing.
The position fixed by the critic is not final. popularity
of the writer is not the standard to judge his greatness. His work should have
the quality of Permanace.
The critic concentrates on the total work of the artist and
analyses his total contribution. Evaluation id s tough job. that requires much
toll on the part of the critic
[3] Elucidation :-
Elucidation means an analysis. It is not simply dissection
the critic has to understand the general theory of art and apply it to the
particular work at hand.
Elucidation is analysis and exposition. The critic should
be a good student of art and beauty.
He should examine the companants of the work of art from
the paint of view of the aristie value. He has to find out the beauty and bring
them to the notice of the reader.
[4] Interpretation :-
Interpretation means finding out the meaning from the
literary piece.
The poet has his own method of expressing truth. The critic
dives into the mind of the poet and tries to find out the real Meaning.
A critic is a good friend of the reader as well as to the
artist in this way. he makes explicit all that is implicit in the work of art.
He Paints out the impartants areas, explains the symbols
and bring forth the real meaning of the theme.
A critic must have a great insight into the use of language
be and style. He must have a good knowledge
of imagery and symbols.
The critic must poetic sensibility to understand appreciate
literature. In this respect poet and the critic are similar pope says :-
"Both from heaven
derive their
right. These born to
judge as
well as those to
write."
[5] Revalution :-
values in literature go on changing. The poet is not always
great. His fame might decline in the different context.
The critic's mind should free from all traditional
consideration. He must have new ideas and new interpretations. he must not be a
slave to the old judgement. The critic must be able to deseriminate - permanent
things from the temporary one.
This will also enable him to re-assess his work and change the old judgement. To
revoke old judgement requires great courage.
Revaluation is necessary in case of many poets and writers.
criticism aims at that also along with other functions.
Critic Must be
Disinterested :-
Arnold says emphasis the word disinterested. The critic
must be absolutely impartial without any prejudices against or in favour of any
particular author or literary school.
A good critic should be disinterestedly impartial in
evaluating and imparting judgement or an author or a literary work. Mathew
Arnold say that. . . .
" A good critic Is
make a disinterested endeavor to learn and propagate the best that is known and
thought in the world"
The Next Function of the critic is " To make a best
ideas of prevail". In this respect the critic is disenory so his next
function is to prepare an atmosphere favourable for the production of creative
literature.
The critic as a man of culture should be conserned with all
aspect of living. In brief the function of the critic Is to promote culture to
