What is ontological criticism?
John Crowe Ransom was an American poet, essayist, social and political theorist, man of letters, and academic. Ransom defines ontological criticism as the best kind of criticism, which tells the essence to find the being of the text/ poem. By ontological criticism, we mean criticism based up on the ontology of text. It is believed that text has its own ontology, that is, its own existence. In any poem there is interaction between structure and texture. Therefore, structure and texture are two main elements for critic since structure is a central logic in a text. There is a ‘paraphrasable core’ in a text that is structure. By ‘paraphrasable core’, we mean the core element of any work of art, which is subject to paraphrase. What remains, when texture of a work of art is deleted is ‘paraphrasable core’. Texture is local details, which refers to meter, assonance, rhyme, metaphor and other linguistic devices. Ransom’s ontological criticism accepts that a text has its own essence , which is sufficient in itself for interpretation. This model of criticism does not allow the critic to go beyond the text.
What are the elements of Marxism?
Abiding by the value of Karl Marx, looking at his Wikipedia page is good enough to get this but I'll outline them for youClass conflict - the current tension between the upper class and the lower classMarxs theory of Surplus value - the idea that if 10 workers make a 1,000 dollar TV they should each make 100$ not whatever their wage is, rendering a boss useless.Alienation of Labor - the idea that a workers product (I.e the 1000$ TV) could not exist without the worker and shouldn't be "alienated" from himWhen these 3 injustices are known there is a proletariat (lowest class) uprising who establish a socialist state. Socialism is essentially seen by Marx as the bridge between capitalism and communism.When socialism leads to Marxist communism there will be a "classless, stateless, humane, society based on common ownership". This means there is no class because they're is no money there is no state (government) and it abides by his principles of "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". This means everyone produces what their abilities allow them to and receives what they needDifferences between Marxist Leninist means that there is still a state and resources are nationalized. Now obviously there are about 10 other types of communism but they are all ultimately variations of Marxist Leninism.

Which of the following is a reasonable criticism of the Bohr model of the atom?
It makes no attempt to explain why the negative electron does not eventually fall into the positive nucleus. It does not adequately predict the line spectrum of hydrogen. It does not adequately predict the ionization energy of the valence electron(s) for elements other than hydrogen. It does not adequately predict the ionization energy of the first energy level electrons for one-electron species for elements other than hydrogen. It shows the electrons to exist outside of the nucleus

What is the purpose of feminist literary criticism?
I'm writing an essay about a play but in a feminist point of view and I am including a paragraph stating the purpose of feminist criticism. I know that it is to explore a piece of literature through a lens that identifies elements where inequality or unfairness towards the female gender is expressed. I am just looking for more views by other people on feminist criticism so I can broaden my idea and present in my essay.
