How to do the analysis of the work of art

The ability to analyze the work of art is an indicator of reader's culture. Thus it is necessary to distinguish the academic analysis from reader's. To perceive the work not in a format of educational process, it is necessary to try to penetrate not so much into an ideological and art identity how many in motivation of acts of heroes.

Instruction

1. In the course of reading the work of art it is necessary to allocate the main characters, to define a role of minor heroes and to try to understand what role they are called to play in the fate of the main characters. It is necessary to allocate an author's position to heroes and to the events – it is simple. The relation of the author can be expressed in a certain emotional coloring of the description, sometimes the author acts as the full character. A classical example of author's presence – Eugene Onegin.

2. Giving an assessment to actions of heroes of the work it is necessary to abstract from a thought that this work of art and to analyze the hero's acts as real-life personality. Studying "Pechorin's image", the girl can ask herself a question – and it would go for it in marriage if such opportunity was presented? The answer to the matter will reveal positive and negative sides of the identity of the hero. At such approach to assessment of the identity of the character there can be contradictions with traditional literary interpretation of the work, but it is a real possibility of use of skills of the psychological analysis in reality.

3. Analyzing a story line, it is interesting to dream up and perform life of heroes before emergence them on stage. Alexander Andreich Chatsky by tradition is considered the hero who is not understood by "famusovsky society". But if to restore the released episodes, the question of its "positivity" will be called into question. The hero was brought up in Famusov' family, was on friendly terms with Sofya, and then disappeared unclear where for several years. The play "Woe from Wit" begins with its return and what is seen by the reader? The clever person begins to impose the vision of the world, to demand immediate revision of key positions of famusovsky society, and, above all – demands former love from Sofya and considers itself sincerely offended, without having received response. And it that unclear absence of Chatsky killed Sofya's love is possible?

4. Level of perception of the work of art is not limited to its analysis. It is possible to speak about full perception in case the reader can identify himself with heroes of the work, and it means – the analysis of the work through a prism of own experience, modeling of a situation and finding of the solution of problems. It is interesting to try to continue the work. Kind of the future of heroes could be? What would happen to heroes if did not occur, then what was thought up by the author? Kind of heroes, proceeding from those characteristics which were revealed during the analysis behaved? What would be if Karandyshev did not kill Larisa but only wounded? Answers to such questions not only expand idea of the work, but also send to studying additional sources. Here it is already possible to speak about influence of reader's culture on the general culture of the personality.
