i feel th same, Ashleigh :) My school teacher has tried to, but this video succeed. I found so much great stuff, but i had to make an essay about Romeo and Juliet. I found this on doksi dot net. It really helped me, a lot more than my prof.

0:32 ye she ran away from the ball am i rigjt Ohohoho

I'm in the same situation. AND I'm doing an English degree. It is like hell. I don't know how to analyse and I don't even care.

What do you mean by author’s theme?

@@zaamea by author's theme, I mean what the author intended for the audience to get out of the work, the central idea in *their* mind. This video makes it sound a bit like you can just find quotes in the book to back up any theme you want. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah

So you just said what she said?Because basically she said use details in the text giving those examples of imagery,character,etc and use that to support a theme.

You’re right, TEZ. The themes should be derivative, not imposed upon the text. Authors usually coordinate themes through design patterns. One of the easiest ways to trace a theme is to look for repetitions and patterns.

@@Trivium1989 thanks :) good tip!

Gosh, I don’t know much about those particular literary theorists-I learned about Levi-Strauss, Saussure, Barthes, and others in graduate school--but I know that structuralism relies on the reader looking at the parts that make up the whole of a text. And each theory looks at different parts. So your job is to apply one of the theories to the text you’re analyzing. For example, the link below offers this example of a question one might be asked in order to write a structuralist analysis: “What patterns exist within the text that connect it to the larger ‘human’ experience? In other words, can we connect patterns and elements within the text to other texts from other cultures to map similarities that tell us more about the common human experience? This is a liberal humanist move that assumes that since we are all human, we all share basic human commonalities.” This link covers structuralism as a form of literary analysis/criticism in general, with no specific reference to Greimas or Totorov, but I think you will be able to make the connection: owl.purdue.edu/owl/subject_specific_writing/writing_in_literature/literary_theory_and_schools_of_criticism/structuralism_and_semiotics.html Our video is meant to be a general overview -perhaps you should consult references from your school, professor, library/class textbook, etc. beyond the OWL reference I provide. I hope this helps!

Every story has a theme, or else it wouldn't have a story---the deal is that the theme is what YOU understand to be the meaning of the story. So, you want to think about a topic that is involved in the story (e.g. money, war, fear, survival, honesty, faith, heroes, acceptance, journeys, rebellion, etc. etc.). Then you use that topic to decide what you think the story is saying about it, and that is the theme. This cool handout from HACC's Tutoring and Testing Libguide can help when you're getting stuck figuring out the theme: libguides.hacc.edu/ld.php?content_id=14849642

+Juwan Brown If you can find enough evidence to support your idea, then it's correct. Regardless of anything else.

Ok that answers a lot, thank you so very much

So, yes, one person’s analysis might indeed differ from another’s since most pieces of literature have more than one theme. In addition, even if your chosen theme is the same as a classmate’s, what you think the piece of literature says about that theme (your analysis) might be different. And finally, the literary elements you use to prove that the meaning of the story is accurate might also be different from your classmates. So, yes, each person’s analysis might be different. Hope this helps!
