literary work. Instead, it is an argument about the
work that expresses a writer's personal
perspective, interpretation, judgment, or critical
evaluation of the work.

Literary analysis involves examining all the parts of a
novel, play, short story, or poem—elements such
as character, setting, tone, and imagery—and
thinking about how the author uses those elements
to create certain effects.

What are the 4 components of a literary analysis?

the setting. Plot is the pattern of events that make
