O Rose, thou art sick! The invisible worm That flies in the night, In the howling storm, Has found out thy bed Of crimson joy, And his dark secret love Does thy life destroy.

5. _______ From William Blake’s “The Sick Rose,” the relationship between the red rose and the destructive, invisible worm can be interpreted as the destruction of a joyous love by deceit or jealousy. ARCHETYPAL CRITICISM

 Gender interpretation focuses on relationships between genders, including patterns of thought, behavior, and power in relations between and within the sexes.  For example, a gender reading of Cinderella may take into account the idea of power relationships between the men and women of the novel.

 “The myth critic is concerned to seek out those mysterious elements that inform certain literary works and that elicit, with almost uncanny force, dramatic and universal human reactions” (Campbell, The Masks of God).

Marxist criticism asserts that economics provides the foundation for all social, political, and ideological reality. Examining social groups and their influences is one of the most accessible ways to use Marxist criticism. ( the Haves vs. Have-nots)
