What the fuck?

let me get this straight

Literary Theory is when you choose a certain school of thought and then just talk about how book fit into it?

Is it like you pick
>feminism = all books are about how men are evil
>colonialism = all books are about how white people are evil
>marxism = all books are about how capitalism is evil

And then you just talk about how a book fits into that?

What is the literary theroy if you just want to talk about how the book has a cool story and is well written and stuff?

>spelled "com-for-ta-ble"
>said like "comf-tra-ble"

>Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.

Is this supposed to be profound? If you can't speak of something you're gonna be silent of it anyway. What a dumb sentence.
