INTERPRETATION

2. LITERARY DISCUSSION
•Literature discussion groups
 
help readers develop and
practice these skills. The overall objectives are for
students to deepen their comprehension skills, construct
meaning together as a group, debate and challenge each
other, and ultimately connect with books on a deeper
level.

3. LITERARY ANALYSIS
•Literary analysis means closely studying a text,
interpreting its meanings, and exploring why
the author made certain choices.
 It can be
applied to novels, short stories, plays, poems,
or any other form of literary writing.

4. TYPES OF
LITERARY ANALYSIS
CULTURAL ANALYSIS
FEMINIST ANALYSIS
HISTORICAL ANALYSIS

PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
READERS RESPONSE ANALYSIS

5. CULTURAL
ANALYSIS
•Cultural literary analysis seeks
to explain a new understanding
of a text using objects,
practices, and ideologies
representative of a culture’s
values, beliefs, and laws.

6. FEMINIST
ANALYSIS
•Feminist literary analysis
focuses on feminist theories
based on society’s unequal
treatment of men and women.

7. HISTORICAL
ANALYSIS
•Historical Analysis looks at a text
through a historical lens. By
forming an understanding of the
time period in which the text takes
place and is written, historical
critics translate new meaning from
the text based on its roots, the
social events, and the historical
elements of the time period that
impacted the author’s writing.

8. •New criticism analyzes text
based solely on the text itself.
Ignoring historical,
biographical, cultural, and
additional outside contexts,
new criticism focuses on
internal contexts.
NEW
CRITICISM

9. SLIDE TITE•Psychological analysis seek to
understand a text by examining
and postulating on the author’s
intentions, the reader’s
responses, and the
psychological state of the
characters in the piece.
PSYCHOLOGICAL
ANALYSIS

10. READERS
RESPONSE
ANALYSIS
•Reader response analysis shifts
the focus away from the author
and other outside elements of
the text and analyzes the
reception of the text through
the various lenses of its
readers.

11. LITERARY INTERPRETATION
•Interpretation 
is an explicit argument about a text’s
deeper meanings—its implied themes, values, and
assumptions. It pays special attention to the text’s
contradictions, tensions, and ambiguities.
Interpretation also recognizes how the cultural context
of the text and the reader might influence our
interpretive conclusions.
