How to Critically Analyze Literature

Wondering how to critically analyze literature? This video lesson will teaching you about six key areas of literary analysis:
STRUCTURE
ARCHETYPES
FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE
TONE
SYMBOLISM
INFLUENCES

Those these are certainly not the only aspects of a piece of literature that one might analyze when critically analyzing a piece of literature, but they are six of the most basic approaches.

Whether you are preparing to write a literary analysis paper or completing a close reading assignment, understanding these key approaches to analyzing literature will support you as you tackle most any piece of literature.

For the purpose of this lesson, most of the examples I give are from Edgar Allen Poe's "The Black Cat."

The PowerPoint I used in this video is available for free download at my Teachers Pay Teachers store:

I have a bad habit of paraphrasing instead analysing. Any tips to help me discern paraphrasing and analysing?

Ma'am I have trouble approaching a novel for analysis. Should I take notes as I read it or should I read it twice? Should I analyse some parts of it or the whole which seems daunting?

Thank you so much! This is really helpful! I am preparing for the Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP, but I can't find any good material to study from. I tried my first time and I needed an equivalent of a C, and I was off by 2 questions. Thank you for being very descriptive here, and if you know any other sources please let me know. Happy new year!
