  • Understanding New Criticism： Ambiguity • It occurs when a word, image, or event generates two or more different meaning. Example: “Thanks for dinner. I’ve never seen potatoes cooked like that before.” (Jonah Baldwin in the film Sleepless in Seattle, 1993) Paradox • It typically arise from false assumptions, which then lead to inconsistencies between observed and expected behavior. Example: “Someday you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.” (C.S. Lewis to his godchild, Lucy Barfield, to whom he dedicated The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) Irony • a figure of speech in which words are used in such a way that their intended meaning is different from the actual meaning of the words. Example: “Once in the winter the rector would come to dine, and her husband would beg her to go over the list and see that no divorcees were included, except those who had showed signs of penitence by being remarried to very wealthy” (Edith Wharton’s House of Mirth (1905)

“The ideology of New Criticism began to crystallize: scientific rationalism was ravaging the “aesthetic life” of the old South, human experience was being stripped of its sensuous particularity, and poetry was a possible solution. The poetic response, unlike the scientific, respected the sensuous integrity of its object: it was not a matter of rational cognition but an affective affair which linked us to the “world’s body” in an essentially religious bond. Through art, an alienated world could be restored to us in all its rich variousness. Poetry, as an essentially contemplative mode, would spur us not to change the world but to reverence it for what it was, teach us to approach it with a disinterested humility.” --- Terry Eagleton, Literary Theory, An Introduction, p 40.
