How to present a full analysis?  Initial decisions  Establishing the components of your analysis  Other arrangements of components  The basic pattern of analysis

Initial decisions  The length of the analysis  The number of aspects of analysis  Time  Emphasis  Once the writer has decided how many aspects he will include, he then needs to arrange them in particular order designed to reflect his intended emphasis

Establishing the components of your analysis  Once the initial decisions have been made we should select the areas of analysis which he wants to cover and then arrange them in an effective order.

Other arrangements of components  In writing an analysis of a play we must consider the various ways of ordering out aspects of analysis.  After that we must consider possible ways of ordering these aspects  In the first place it is obvious that we need to begin by stating our intention of analyzing the play in two basic ways— technically and thematically

Full analysis  I. Statement that we will analyze the play  II formal analysis: Structure of the play, the characters, the action of the characters and the rhetorical usage of the characters  III. Interpretations of the play

General pattern of ordering  From easy to more complex aspects of analysis, from usual to unusual aspects, from standard rhetorical- style examples to special, peculiar rhetorical-style examples, from structure to character, from character to action, from action to theme, from theme to interpretation.

The basic pattern of analysis  The full analysis of a play would treat the following subjects in this order: 1. An introduction to the paper explaining that this is to be a full analysis of all aspects of the play. 2. definition of the world of the play – its location, atmosphere, emotional framework, etc.

The basic pattern of analysis 3. Explanation of the structure 4. Discussion of the characters 5. The language and rhetoric of the play 6. Interpretations of the play, emphasis on your own view of the play, even it is largely similar to that of another critic

The basic pattern of analysis 7. Evaluation and criticism: this forms, in effect, the conclusion to your paper and should stand not as an isolated component but rather as the crowning section of your paper, to some extent dependent upon, and to some extent’ a summary of everything else in your paper
