Explanation:
In this task, you will write a literary analysis essay (1,000−1,200 words) that explores a specific idea or aspect of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Ensure that you state the thesis (or argument) of your essay clearly and that the thesis presents a unique or original interpretation of the play.
Planning
Before you start crafting your essay, recall that a literary analysis is a type of argument. A debatable claim is proposed and then supported with evidence from the text. A literary analysis is used to interpret and analyze a text and not to just offer an opinion. When you write a literary analysis, it helps to develop your critical reading skills by analyzing and interpreting the work. The thesis or central argument should be discussed throughout the paper. The argument must be adequately supported with evidence from the text.
Before creating your thesis, begin gathering additional sources to build your argument and support your thesis. For each source, consider the following questions:
Who authored the document?
What is the purpose of the document?
When was the document written?
How will this document help your argument?
Reading and evaluating sources
Choosing a focus and topic
Recall that the fundamental purpose of this analytical essay is to explain your understanding or interpretation of Romeo and Juliet. The analytical essay should explain how the drama conveys meaning and examine how one or more elements contribute to the meaning of the drama.
From the following list of elements of drama, choose one or two that you will focus on for your essay about Romeo and Juliet:
plot
characterization
setting
theme
dialogue
figurative language
structure
After you select the elements that you will focus on for your essay, brainstorm some potential topics. Choose a topic that is based on your interpretation of the work. Some examples of questions to consider during the planning phase of your essay include the following:
What theme or central idea is expressed by the work?
What ideas or images recur throughout the work?
How does the plot build suspense? Are the techniques of flashback or foreshadowing important to the story?
What types of conflict occur while the plot is unfolding?
How is the characterization important to the story? Are the characters symbolic or representative of something? Can the characters be compared?
How does the setting (time, scenery, and location) influence or contribute to the work? How does it impact the characters? Is there a relationship between the setting and the mood?
How does figurative language affect the work? How are figures of speech important to the meaning of the work?
Once you’ve developed your outline and gathered the evidence, consider these points while writing:
Try to be objective.
Write in third person.
Use present tense to discuss the drama.
