So to analyze literature means to break it apart into its constituent parts, to examine the parts, and to consider how the parts help us understand the whole. The \u201cparts\u201d in literature can be detected by considering literary devices, such as character, plot, genre, symbol, theme, etc. In this paper, you\u2019ll select one or two of the plays we\u2019re reading this semester for such an examination. Then you\u2019ll determine what aspect(s) of the plays you\u2019re working with you\u2019re interested in focusing on.<\/p>\n<div>&#8211; Once you\u2019ve selected a text or texts that you\u2019d like to work with, you\u2019ll formulate a research question. Research questions must be open-ended; they are not fact-finding expeditions, but rather explorations of subjective aspects of a work. For example, the following question leads us to fact-based information, and on its own will yield nothing more than an informational answer: What is comedy? A better, open- ended question would be: Does the disordering of socio-economic class in Shakespeare\u2019s comedy The Taming of the Shrew ultimately challenge or support class expectations of this time? This question is better because it\u2019s open-ended and involves engaging the play in order to make meaning. We\u2019ll discuss research questions for literary analysis papers during class, but another resource you can consult is the Purdue OWL.<\/div>\n<div>&#8211; The role of research in your paper will be to help you explicate different aspects of the piece you\u2019ve selected for analysis. You should not rely solely on other sources to help you do the work of analysis, but you should see what others have to say and then incorporate those points that seem especially significant and valuable.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; Analysis means to break apart.
