Features: The 20th century was the century of criticism, and literary criticism theory flourished unprecedentedly. Schools such as socio-historical criticism, psychoanalysis, Marxist criticism, feminist criticism, structuralism, reception aesthetics, and literary history criticism each provided a perspective or method for interpreting literary works. The author skillfully weaves these critical theories into his murder mystery, making each school address Hamlet, debate with one another, expose each other's flaws, and ultimately lead to destruction. Readers can gain an overview of Western 20th-century literary criticism theory in a light-hearted and enjoyable reading experience, elevating their understanding of literary theory to a new level. The book also lacks independent literary value, filled with comedic irony and parody, often leaving readers in stitches. The author uses exaggeration to reveal the limitations of various critical schools and also pokes fun at some absurd phenomena in academia today, painting a vivid picture of the lives of literary professors.
