 The archetypes of literature exist, Frye argues, as an order of words, providing criticism with a conceptual framework and a body of knowledge derived not from an ideological system but rooted in the imagination itself.Thus, rather than interpreting literary works from some ideological 'position' — what Frye calls the "superimposed critical attitude" ("Anatomy" 7) — criticism instead finds integrity within the literary field itself.Criticism for Frye, then, is not a task of evaluation — that is, of rejecting or accepting a literary work — but rather simply of recognizing it for what it is and understanding it in relation to other works within the 'order of words'  (Cotrupi 4).
