A critical essay is characterized by careful evaluation and
judgment of the criticized material. Critical essays should
display the writer's attitude towards the criticized material,
and it does not necessarily mean the captious objection or
denial of the author's point. Ideally, critical essay should
represent the unbiased, objective and impartial evaluation of a
literary work, article or book, demonstrating the writer's
coherence and familiarity with the criticized material. Each
critical analysis should include the following primary
constituents:
- summary of the primary ideas, concepts and points of view
stated in the criticized work (main idea, facts, values,
suggestions, etc.); - objective evaluation of the criticized
work (assessment of presented factual material, arguments and
values).
While writing a critical essay, it is necessary to take into
account the possible alternative opinions and give way to
plausible argument. A critical essay should display objective
evaluation, and not the writer's personal sensations about the
work. Therefore, each statement or judgment should be reinforced
by evidence/direct quotations from the criticized material. Each
quotation should be properly referenced in accordance with the
given citation style. Critical evaluation means proofs, critical
thinking and discussion. The writer should keep professional and
unbiased tone, avoiding any stylistic errors and
inconsistencies.
