ETHICAL LITERARY CRITICISM AS A METHOD TO INTERPRET LITERARY TEXTS. (IN THE EXAMPLE OF JODI PICOULT’S “MY SISTER’S KEEPER”)

Abstract

Ethical literary criticism has become one of the important approaches in contemporary literary studies. Unlike purely formal or structural analysis, ethical literary criticism focuses on moral questions, human values, and ethical choices represented in literary texts.
