A Guide to the Literary-Analysis Essay
INTRODUCTION: the section in your essay. It begins creatively in order to catch your
reader’s interest, provides essential background about the literary work, and prepares the reader
for you major thesis. The introduction must include the author and title of the work as well
as an explanation of the theme to be discussed. Other essential background may include
setting, capsule plot summary, an introduction of main characters, and definition of terms.
The major thesis goes at the end. Because the major thesis sometimes sounds tacked on, use
a transition between the background information and the thesis of the essay.
CREATIVE OPENING: the beginning sentences of the introduction that catches the reader’s
interest. The types of introductions listed below are not the complete introductions. The
examples only represent a type of introduction. The introduction is more than you see here.
Ways of beginning creatively include the following:
1) A startling fact or bit of information
Ex. Nearly two citizens were arrested as witches during the Salem witch scare of 1692.
Eventually nineteen were hanged, and another was pressed to death (Marks 65).
2) A snatch of dialogue between two characters
Ex. “It is another thing. You [Frederic Henry] cannot know about it unless you have it.” “Well,”
I said. “If I ever get it I will tell you [priest].” (Hemingway 72). With these words, the priest in
Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms sends the hero, Frederic, in search of the ambiguous
“it” in his life.
3) A meaningful quotation (from the work or another source)
Ex. “To be, or not to be, that is the question” {3.1.57}. This familiar statement expresses the
young prince’s moral dilemma in William Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet, Prince of Denmark.
4) A universal idea.
Ex. The terrifying scenes a soldier experiences on the front probably follow him throughout his
life—if he manages to survive the war.
5) A rich, vivid description of the setting
Ex. Sleepy Maycomb, like other Southern towns, suffers considerably during the Great
Depression. Poverty reaches from the privileged families, like the Finches, to the Negroes and
“white trash” Ewells, who live on the outskirts of town. Harper Lee paints a vivid picture of life
in this humid Alabama town where tempers and bigotry explode into conflict.
2
6) An analogy or metaphor
Ex. Life is like a box of chocolates: we never know what we’re going to get. This element of
uncertainty plays a major role in many dramas. For example, in Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and
Juliet have no idea what tragedies lie ahead when they fall so passionately and impetuously in
love.
7) MAJOR THESIS: a statement that provides the subject and overall opinion of your
essay. For a literary analysis your major thesis must (1) relate to the theme of the
work and (2) suggest how this theme is revealed by the author. A good thesis may ...
The Five Moves of Analysis(aka The Most Important Thing You Will.docxoreo10
The Five Moves of Analysis
(aka The Most Important Thing You Will Ever Learn)
1. Suspend Judgment: Set aside your likes and dislikes, your agreeing or disagreeing. Say to yourself, “What I find most interesting here is...”.
2. Notice and Focus: Simply put, pay close attention to details. “What do you notice?” What is significant/interesting/revealing/ strange. Slow down and take your time here. Don’t jump to interpretations before you’ve exhausted the details. Uncertainty is good.
3. Look for Patterns: Start sifting through the text looking for Repetitions, Strands, Binaries, and Anomalies.
Repetitions: sheep dog in "How to Talk to a Hunter"
Strands: Animals in "How to Talk to a Hunter," alcohol in "Sonny's Blues"
Binaries: Light/Dark in "Sonny's Blues," young/old in "One of Star Wars, One of Doom"
Anomalies: Mysterious notebook in "One of Star Wars, One of Doom," tin of chocolates with Santa Claus "fondling" children painted on it in "How to Talk to a Hunter"
4. Make the Implicit Explicit: Explain to the reader what the details or the patterns imply. Explain your thought process. Pull out the implications and show them why you think they are “folded in” to the meaning of the text or image. What does this mean and So What? Why is it important?
5. Keep Reformulating Questions and Explanations: What else might this detail or pattern mean? How else could it be explained? What details don’t fit my theory? Can I adjust my theory to better fit with this?
Prepping the Final Paper
Take a minute to re-read the assignment sheet for Paper 3. Then choose which prompt you would like to focus on for your paper. Once you have chosen your prompt, I would like you to go through the book and identify the scenes that you think link to your topic in an interesting way. Now…
1. List the scenes you have chosen, e.g. “Scene #1: The scene in which Oscar is taken into the cane and beaten.”
2. Carefully gather details from your chosen scenes. These should include both individual details you find interesting or bizarre, AND binaries, strands, repetitions, and anomalies. Use the skills we’ve practiced all quarter long to gather these. Write them down. For example, “Oscar’s hands are ‘seamless’ in the dream.’
3. Now spend some time pulling multiple implications out of as many details as you can. For instance, “Seamless hands = brand new, no history, no fingerprints so no traces, like a blank page.”
4. Choose your six juiciest, most interesting and analytically rich details and type them up in a list that includes implications.
5. Use your detail-analysis to develop a working thesis. This is your own analytical theory about what is going on in the scenes you’ve chosen. What have you uncovered and why is it significant? Write that thesis down.
My answer
1. Scene
#1: The scene in which Oscar’s dead at the beginning.
#2: The scene in which the narrator is not Yunior in chapter 2.
#3: Narrating the identity of Yunior.
#4: Using footn ...
Conventions for Writing about LiteratureIntegrating Quotatio.docxdickonsondorris
Conventions for Writing about Literature
Integrating Quotations:
Quotation with Signal Phrase:
If you are quoting dialogue (the spoken words of a character) in a work of literature, you should introduce the character who is speaking and provide a context for the spoken words. Use a signal phrase which names the speaker to incorporate the quotation.
For example: When Josephine begs Louise to open the door, Louise says, “Go away. I am not making myself ill” (8).
Or: Louise says, “Go away. I am not making myself ill” (8).
Introduced Quotation:
If you are quoting prose (non-spoken words) rather than dialogue (spoken words of a character) in a work of literature, there are also ways to smoothly incorporate quotations. One way to do this is to use an introduced quotation. To do this, first introduce the quote with a complete statement in your own words. Then, use a colon (:) in order to show that quotation which follows the colon is an example or further explanation of your statement.
For example: Louise Mallard’s outer appearance clearly reveals her inner qualities: “She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength” (7).
Blended Quotation:
Another way to quote prose is to use a blended quotation. This is when you blend a quotation into your own sentence. Sometimes, this means that you blend only a part of the original sentence into your own sentence. Also make sure that your blended sentence is grammatically correct.
For example: “The patches of blue sky” (7) represent hope in Louise Mallard’s bleak life.
Other Literary Conventions to Keep in Mind:
· In writing about literature, it is a convention to write in the present tense.
· Put titles of self-contained works (like novels) in italics, and put titles of works that are published as part of a larger whole (like the readings from Signs of Life ) in quotation marks.
· Put quotes within quotes in single quotation marks. (see WRP p.197).
· Put brackets around anything that you need to change within the quote. (see WRP p.206).
· Use ellipses to indicate omitted material from the quote. (see WRP p.202-205).
· Indent (10 spaces) quotations of more than four lines. These long quotations are double-spaced and the parenthetical citations are placed after the end punctuation. Do not include quotation marks for long quotations. (see WRP p.198).

9. Example Qn: “ The Australian desert is a sublime void that inspires both mystery and madness. ” Discuss. Possible 1 st sentence: Australia’s desert centre, or heart, is often romantically interpreted as a vast, empty expanse that has uncanny and unreal effects. Poor 1 st sentence: The Australian desert is a sublime void that inspires both mystery and madness.
10. Introduction 2. Introduce context / background Return to your ‘questioning’: Show the important issues and questions you identified earlier. You can also include definitions of terms. Psst! This is a good place to take some authority. Don’t try to include the entire history of an idea. Focus on showing what you think.
11. Example Possible 2 nd sentence: However, the idea of a sublime void is a European one that suggests the desert is both site and symbol of estrangement and threat. Qn: “ The Australian desert is a sublime void that inspires both mystery and madness. ” Discuss. Poor 2 nd sentence/s: As Kant shows in his Critique of Judgment … which is best understood alongside Burke … and we might as well throw in Longinus and Lyotard for good measure...
12. Introduction 2. Foreshadow your points Return to your brainstorming: Identify the main points you will cover to answer the question. These should be shown in order of importance. Psst! Avoid wordiness. Use your paragraphs to develop your points. Here, try to seduce your reader with the most vital and interesting details.
13. Example Qn: “ The Australian desert is a sublime void that inspires both mystery and madness. ” Discuss. Possible 3 rd sentence: Far from inspiring mystery and madness, representations of the desert in contemporary Australian feature films including Holy Smoke (1999), Priscilla: Queen of the Desert (1994) and Rabbit Proof Fence (2002) construct the desert as a space where otherwise marginalised social identities are critiqued. Poor 3 rd sentence/s: More about Kant and perhaps some speculation on whether or not ghosts really do exist…
14. Introduction 4. State your position What is your overall main position, or claim? This is your thesis statement (you’ll learn more about this on the next page of the module). You must state what your essay claims, and why. Psst! Complete the sentence ‘This essay argues…’ to get yourself in the frame of mind for creating a strong case. You can change it later!
15. Example Possible 4 th sentence: This essay argues that the desert is a productive space in contemporary Australian film for critiquing the social structures of gender, family, sexuality and race, and, further, that the idea of a threatening void is not a fact but is an indicator of the urgency of these concerns. Qn: “ The Australian desert is a sublime void that inspires both mystery and madness. ” Discuss. Poor 4 th sentence: Hence, the Australian desert is a sublime void that inspires both mystery and madness.
16. Possible introduction Australia’s desert centre, or heart, is often romantically interpreted as a vast, empty expanse that has uncanny and unreal effects. However, the idea of a sublime void is a European one that suggests the desert is both site and symbol of estrangement and threat. Far from inspiring mystery and madness, representations of the desert in contemporary Australian feature films including Holy Smoke (1999), Priscilla: Queen of the Desert (1994) and Rabbit Proof Fence (2002) construct the desert as a space where otherwise marginalised social identities are critiqued. This essay argues that the desert is a productive space in contemporary Australian film for critiquing the social structures of gender, family, sexuality and race, and, further, that the idea of a threatening void is not a fact but is an indicator of the urgency of these concerns.
17. Development Did you know? You will often need to rewrite your introduction once you finish writing your developing paragraphs. AND… A developing paragraph usually contains more than one sentence! It should be about 150-200 words long.
18.
19. Development 1. Topic sentence The topic sentence is a general statement showing the topic your paragraph will discuss. So, if you identified ‘gender politics’ as a key topic in your introduction, your reader expects to find it in a topic sentence. Psst! The topic sentence should be written in your voice! Don’t quote other authors here!
20. Example Possible 1 st sentence: Whilst Jane Campion’s Holy Smoke is geographically located in the Australian desert, Sydney and India, it is conceptually located in questions of gender identity. This essay argues that the desert is a productive space in contemporary Australian film for critiquing the social structures of gender, family, sexuality and race, and, further, that the idea of a threatening void is not a fact but is an indicator of the urgency of these concerns. We’ll keep the thesis statement close by to keep focused!
21. Example This essay argues that the desert is a productive space in contemporary Australian film for critiquing the social structures of gender, family, sexuality and race, and, further, that the idea of a threatening void is not a fact but is an indicator of the urgency of these concerns. Possible 1 st sentence: Whilst Jane Campion’s Holy Smoke is geographically located in the Australian desert, Sydney and India, it is conceptually located in questions of gender identity. Link your introduction and topic sentence.
22. Development 2. Evidence – example / research Refer to your notes, and look for a relevant example from the film. You can include some research you’ve done here as well. Psst! If you are including research, ensure you introduce and reference it clearly!
23. Example Possible 2 nd sentence/s: For example, Harvey Keitel’s costuming at the start of the film includes cowboy boots, Levi jeans and dark fitted shirts, but at the film’s climax he wears lipstick and a red frock. When giving an example always give an accurate representation. Don’t give your opinions yet!
24. Development 3. Comment on the evidence Explain the evidence to your reader. You can provide more context to assist with their understanding too. Psst! Assume your reader has no idea what you’re thinking! Explain all of your claims.
25. Example Possible 3 rd sentence/s: The dress is that of his much younger lover, played by Kate Winslet. The colour red is an interesting choice as it connotes scarlet, and hence, the conservative stereotype of the temptress, or ‘scarlet woman.’ Note that the author does not jump to the conclusion of Keitel’s scarlet woman until clear links between red, scarlet, and cultural stereotyping are made.
26. Development 4. Discussion Link your evidence to your topic sentence and broader argument. This is the place to raise and consider some interesting questions. Psst! Don’t rely solely on other authors’ studies. Include your own opinions.
27. Example Possible 4 th sentence/s: This suggests Keitel now ‘wears’ the weight of scandal usually associated with this identity. Here, the desert serves as a site for subverting the sexuality and gender norms that give approval to demure, frocked women and Levi-clad, virile men. As Alison Bartlett (2001) describes, this exploration of identity is made possible by the apparent limitlessness of the desert, but is not reducible to the desert per se . Make sure you know how to correctly reference other authors’ ideas!
28. Development 5. Refer and link ‘ Tie up’ the paragraph by referring to the broader question you are answering, and then link to the next point. Psst! Try to avoid finishing a paragraph with a quote!
29. Example Possible 4 th sentence/s: Thus, as a site of gender-subversion, Holy Smoke follows a pattern of representing the Australian desert in terms of social critique. You might like to use some words or synonyms drawn from the essay question or thesis statement to strengthen the links.
30. Whilst Jane Campion’s Holy Smoke is geographically located in the Australian desert, Sydney and India, it is conceptually located in questions of gender identity.

31.
32. Conclusion 1. Restatement of the main thesis This is simple! You don’t need to use the exact wording, but make sure you reinforce the basic position you made in your introduction here. Psst! You might like to use a couple of key words from the question to show that you answered it!
33. Example Possible 1 st sentence: Despite the long history of colonial literature that represents the desert as a sublime void, contemporary Australian film interrogates this narrative by constructing a site of social and cultural critique. Double check: Have you changed your thesis? Do you need to adjust the introduction? Do you still agree with yourself??!!
34. Conclusion 2. Summary of points Briefly remind your reader of what you argued in order to make your case. There is no need to go into detail – you’ve already done that! Psst! Avoid introducing any new material in the conclusion.
35. Example Possible 2 nd sentence/s: This has proved to be true in a variety of films since the 1990s and is most convincingly shown in representations of race, gender and sexuality in Holy Smoke , Rabbit Proof Fence , and Priscilla . As I have argued, these films’ portrayals of the desert are entrenched in current social conditions and contexts, and are not elevated to the sublime. Double check: Do you still agree with yourself??!! Need to make any changes to your points?
36. Conclusion 3. Refer to a broader context Situate the essay within the current field of debate in your area. This can include referring to: film; literature; theory; politics; culture; economics… Psst! Try to avoid finishing off with a bit of wisdom from Shakespeare or Confucius.
37. Example Possible 3 rd sentence/s: Australian landscape films cannot be reduced to questions of aesthetics. Nor, it would seem, can its deserts. Finish strong. Don’t ‘take back’ or ‘apologise’ for your ideas with a weak finishing sentence.
38. Possible conclusion Despite the long history of colonial literature that represents the desert as a sublime void, contemporary Australian film interrogates this narrative by constructing a site of social and cultural critique. This has proved to be true in a variety of films since the 1990s and is most convincingly shown in representations of race, gender and sexuality in Holy Smoke , Rabbit Proof Fence , and Priscilla .
