This document discusses different approaches to analyzing literature. It defines several key literary approaches: structuralist/formalist, which focuses on literary elements; historical, which examines cultural and historical context; moralist, which considers morality; feminist, which analyzes representations of gender; Marxist, which looks at class struggles; and reader-response, which considers the reader's interpretation. For each approach, the document outlines what aspects of a text are analyzed, such as language, structure, cultural events, class relations, and more. The objectives are to identify and define literary analysis approaches, differentiate various approaches, and evaluate how approaches convey messages in literature.
