This is the question : No. 3: Writing – Literary Analysis

 

It is now time to write a literary analysis of your novel of choice.

 

The purpose of a literary analysis essay is to carefully examine a clearly defined aspect of a work of literature. It is a kind of writing that demands tight organization and control.

 

Therefore, your essay must have a main idea. What exactly is it that you want to analyze in your analysis? You formulate your main idea in a thesis statement. Try to be a specific as you possibly can. A clearly defined main idea will make it easier to go ahead with the actual analysis. A main idea which is less defined and too general will make it very difficult to be precise and focused in your analysis.

 

Having presented your clearly defined main idea in a thesis statement you proceed with paragraphs in which you support and illustrate your main idea. Finally you round off your essay with a conclusion that grows logically from your paragraphs.
