True
The purpose of literary criticism/analysis is to allow readers to contribute their interpretation and analysis of a work of literature, supporting their ideas with evidence from the text. It helps readers to delve deeper into the themes, characters, and techniques used by the author, and to participate in the ongoing dialogue about the merits and faults of the work. Literary criticism also helps to create a deeper understanding and appreciation of literature as an art form.
