[@johnleifacturanan2761]

Hahaha lol

[@boles98]

i feel th same, Ashleigh :) My school teacher has tried to, but this video succeed. I found so much great stuff, but i had to make an essay about Romeo and Juliet. I found this on doksi dot net. It really helped me, a lot more than my prof.

[@MissMusicLover131]

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

[@misao7746]

0:32 ye she ran away from the ball am i rigjt Ohohoho

[@skyxxteq]

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.

[@alexandra.v]

I'm in the same situation. AND I'm doing an English degree. It is like hell. I don't know how to analyse and I don't even care.

[@willschlueter2478]

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.

[@yinsmoke]

What do you mean by author’s theme?

[@willschlueter2478]

@@yinsmoke by author's theme, I mean what the author intended for the audience to get out of the work, the central idea in *their* mind. This video makes it sound a bit like you can just find quotes in the book to back up any theme you want. 🤷‍♂️

[@naniyodesu]

I think your understanding of literary analysis sounds like it's unfortunately a hundred years behind in time. The contemporary paradigm in the field of literary studies follows the understanding that the author's intention is meaningless and does not actually reflect what is or is not in the text. This is why the other word used for common literary analysis is TEXT analysis, because it is about the text, not the author. Basing any argument about a text on what the author intended is unreliable and does not actually provide any kind of analysis, it's simply stating what someone says they thought they wrote, not actually analysing the final product in any meaningful way. You are correct in specifying that analysis is about discerning the different elements of the story to create an understanding of it. You can't choose to "pick a theme" that is not in the actual text. But this process doesn't, and shouldn't, have anything to do with the author's intention or interpretation. It's simply because if there are no elements to support your claim, it's clearly not there. On the other hand, if you can find elements to support your claim in the text, then evidently, it IS in the text, whether the author is aware of it or not.

[@hugo822514]

Excellent explanation and display. Thanks a bunch for your time, work and pedagogy. I really appreciate everything done in this video.

[@green08green08green]

Thank you! This will be perfect for the analysis on my final next week!

[@tinoala6631]

This is the BEST video that helped me with my academics!

[@TBC1599]

A really well-structured and detailed video. Thanks!

[@shajipk8676]

this video helped me stimulating my literature senses.thanks a lot...expecting similar more videos

[@Aritul]

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

[@justenjoyable]

very beautifully explained in a very easy and interesting way. Thanks

[@scratchthesurface9511]

I am planning to start a booktube channel. And this video definitely helps a lot! Thank you!

[@ChristopherOrtiz22]

Thank you so much I didn’t understand what I was supposed to do and you put it all in a blender and fed it to me like Gerber (baby food) :)

[@sgt7]

I think this is a great vid. However, for me, when proposing a theme it should only be tentatively held while searching the text for evidence that proves the theme. This is because, in my own view, one must be open to evidence that might suggest another theme. Ideally, one would move back and forth between proposing a hypothesis (or theme) and looking at the evidence in the text. I will concede I have almost no training in literary analysis but from what I know this would make sense to me. Thanks.

[@peterluna593]

So you just said what she said?Because basically she said use details in the text giving those examples of imagery,character,etc and use that to support a theme.

[@Trivium1989]

You’re right, TEZ. The themes should be derivative, not imposed upon the text. Authors usually coordinate themes through design patterns. One of the easiest ways to trace a theme is to look for repetitions and patterns.

[@esidarasun8151]

If the theme is hidden, how do you see it? How do you find the theme is dreams? And what the story is saying about it?

[@kyleeisreal_yt3651]

Am I the only one who's watching this video in this time of pandemic -(Online Classes)-? By the way, thank you for doing this!

[@batuhan_a_kocak]

Aren't you going in the opposite direction? You chose a theme and then analyzed the text to justify your choice. Shouldn't you analyze the text first to let the analysis lead you to a theme?

[@TwisttidWorld]

How would you go about finding the theme?

[@ca9428]

Every story has a theme, or else it wouldn't have a story---the deal is that the theme is what YOU understand to be the meaning of the story. So, you want to think about a topic that is involved in the story (e.g. money, war, fear, survival, honesty, faith, heroes, acceptance, journeys, rebellion, etc. etc.). Then you use that topic to decide what you think the story is saying about it, and that is the theme.

so is there a right or wrong answer to the chosen theme?

+Juwan Brown If you can find enough evidence to support your idea, then it's correct. Regardless of anything else.

Omg thank you for this✨⭐️😭❤️

[@alihani9547]

Thank you 😊

[@ocgcg2126]

That's pretty easy to do if you read the book or whatever you're analyzing. Not everyone wants to read a 600 pages book just to end up with a theme that it's " work for what you want " 😂 It could be a really good story actually but the thing is that IT'S TOO LONG 💔💔

[@gishpig1718]

Whats the music used is this video?

[@christianjaypresidente8225]

Question: what if your analysis differ form one another? Comments please.

[@HACCinfo]

So, yes, one person’s analysis might indeed differ from another’s since most pieces of literature have more than one theme. In addition, even if your chosen theme is the same as a classmate’s, what you think the piece of literature says about that theme (your analysis) might be different. And finally, the literary elements you use to prove that the meaning of the story is accurate might also be different from your classmates. So, yes, each person’s analysis might be different. Hope this helps!
