Best Answer

A literary critic must be well-read, even before reading the current book. They should be able to think critically about grammar, point of view and, in general, the flow of the story. Since critics write reviews about books, their writing should reflect careful thought and reasons for reaching their conclusions about the value of the book.

One job of a literary critic is to analyze and interpret literary works, providing insights into the themes, symbolism, and techniques used by the author. Critics also often evaluate the artistic merit and cultural significance of a work within its historical and social context.
