compare and contrast literary theory and literary criticism?

Question

compare and contrast literary theory and literary criticism illustrating your answer taken from one literary theory and applied to one literary text

Answer 1

Taraloti may be right. I don't recognize much of a difference either. I would consider any statement of literary theory to be, in and of itself, literary criticism. My guess is that your teacher gave you specific definitions for each, but like so many things academic, the distinction can be arbitrary or so narrow as to be meaningless to others. I'm not saying you cannot have a meaningful discussion in the terms your teacher provided; I am just suggesting that outsiders would need more information or greater context in order to join that conversation.

Answer 2

I can not do that because I don't realise the comparison of literary theory to literary criticism.
