A literary analysis essay explains and interprets the meaning of a literary text. To analyze a text is to break it down into its smaller parts in order to understand the meaning of the whole. In general, a literary analysis essay may address how

• different topics or themes in one literary text work together or relate to each other
• topics or themes of two or more different literary texts compare or contrast with each other
• topics or themes in a literary text relate to a larger context, such as politics, religion, or society
