Based on the theories of Freud and Jung, this criticism centers on the psychology of the characters and analyzes character motivation, behavior and actions. If you can figure out the protagonistâs psychology, then you can use that to interpret the text.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A stipulative definition is a type of definition in which a new or currently-existing term is given a specific meaning for the purposes of argument or discussion in a given context. When the term already exists, this definition may, but does not necessarily, contradict the dictionary (lexical) definition of the term. Because of this, a stipulative definition cannot be correct or incorrect; it can only differ from other definitions, but it can be useful for its intended purpose. Grue has no meaning in standard English; therefore, Goodman created the new term and gave it a stipulative definition.
