Literary analyses are essays that examine literary texts closely to understand their messages, interpret their meanings, appreciate their techniques, or understand their historical or social contexts. Choose an important character from the story you read.What motivates that character to make the choices that he/she makes. A literary analysis is a form of argument; you are arguing that your analysis of a literary work is valid. Remember, the literary analysis essay is not a summary. Assume that your reader has read the story, so you can focus on analyzing themes, writing style, or other aspects of the work. Your essay must also include AT LEAST one scholarly article that supports your interpretation (or some aspect of your interpretation) of the primary text. Keep in mind that you are not doing a summary or review of this scholarly article, nor are you simply repeating what the article’s author has said; you are using the information from this article to support your argument.
