Definition of a critic

According to Webster’s dictionary, a critic is one who judges the quality of literary or artistic works. In any work written or made for a large group of people, it is imperative to get a final product or result that is widely accepted and appreciated. To this end a critic is useful in achieving this. A critic is like an appraiser. However, a critic differs from an appraiser in a lot of ways, including the fact that a critic would commend the good work and point out the errors that he sees or thinks in a ‘bad’ work, but the appraiser only tells and commends the good things.

However, a notion do exist that a critic only finds fault, and thereby always condemns some other persons’ work. This is not a very accurate statement. A good critic is unbiased and unprejudiced. They tell it like it is or at least the way they see it.

The above-stated feedback could be positive or negative, but should go a long way in ultimately ensuring that the producer of such work has a fair knowledge of other perspectives. If every critic is a diabolical person who bashes everybody’s work, and if critics were to be done away with; then a lot of literary works won’t be in want by the target audience. Good critics with their comments, gives the public an idea of what the work is about. It must also be remembered that a critic does not force people to accept a work, they just review. Hence, it is wrong to ‘categorize’ critics and have a wrong impression of them. So if a work is good and worthy, critic or no critic, the public would love it. Indifferent thoughts about critics should be discarded, because they actually could help in the widespread acceptance of a particular work.

Hitherto, a critic is a measuring stick on the success of movies/TV shows. Th
