Culler came up with five points theorists about the nature of literature, there are literature as the foregrounding of language, literature as the integration of language, literature as fiction, literature as aesthetic object and literature as intertextual. I found the most interesting and useful is literature as the itegration of literature because the theory change my opinion of literature. In my eye, the literacy works is the expression of author’s psyche. When we read literature, we can feel author’s feel. However, Culler told me to consider all of the organization of its laguage first, not the expression of author. Literature is the integration of language, we should feel the contribution of different words and elements in strcuture of literature, which can be charm of literature.
