How to Analyze Literature

Have a literary analysis paper coming up? This is one of the trickier types of essays for a lot of college students. Watch this video to learn a strategy for approaching literary analysis and to see an example.

This video just explained critical analysis better than my professor has this entire term.

Describing it with Cinderella actually really increased my understanding of what I have to look for 😂😂 thank you!!

I like most of this video, but a subtle clarification should be made: true literary analysis is about figuring out what the *author's* theme is. You don't first "pick a theme" and then find quotes to back it up. You instead use the elements of the to gradually discern the *author's* theme. If you want to write a paper called "What I got out of Cinderella", then randomly choosing a theme first is fine, but if you want to truly analyze Cinderella for what it is, the theme is the ending point, not the starting point.

This is so much clearer!! Thank you so much

I don't consider myselft an analytical person. So, ofc it's terribly hard for me to try to do literary analysis. I never learned to do it in school, neither I cared to learn it on my own.

I love reading for fun, but to me analyzing everything makes it boring.

However, I would like to start doing it as it always keeps appearing in my life lol. Once again thank you! This is definitely a good start.

This is fantastic! I particularly liked the example in which you analyzed a football team's chance of winning (0:37).
