- In the Literary Theory by John Culler, in the first 10 pages of the chapter, I’d argue that the most important part of this whole chapter is that he never really gave a concrete answer as to what literature is. He mentioned multiple examples of literature and also talked about how people who are professionals in the field of literature find it difficult to come up with a definitive answer as to what literature, since it is so complex. It’s important to think about the definitions of literature because if we know more, we can teach more people what we’ve learned, and we can probably expand upon what we already have.
- The question I kept having as I read the text was “What is literature” I know there is no concrete answer but I was still thinking that and I would like to know one day

Yeah I came up with something similar, with so many definitions about literature how are we supposed to separate it from non literature?
