A Literary analysis essay delves deeper into a work of literature; examining and evaluating the
various plot twists, character traits, events and setting to gain a better insight into the message
the author intended to deliver.

on it, but rather to discuss relevant elements within the text to figure out how the piece of
literature works.

Evaluate the text to see how it validates your thesis.
Explain how the themes, characters, plot and structure provide evidence for your thesis.
Your thesis must be supported by plenty of quotes and evidence from the text.
Each paragraph in the body of the essay should include a point of analysis, a quote to support
your point and then an explanation of how the quote supports your point.

back to the thesis.
