Moral criticism is an approach to evaluating literature, art, or other cultural products based on their ethical implications and moral values. It examines how a work reflects, promotes, or challenges societal norms and moral beliefs. Critics often assess whether the content encourages positive behavior or reinforces negative stereotypes. This type of criticism can involve analyzing characters, themes, and messages to determine their moral significance. For example, a novel might be critiqued for its portrayal of violence or gender roles, exploring how these elements influence readers' perceptions of right and wrong.
