Literary analysis is something I turned up my nose at a decade ago. My inward groaning would begin every time an English or literature teacher would start to talk about literary analysis. Was the color of the walls in a story important? Was the author trying to convey some important metaphysical truth? I would have wagged my head and disagreed. And I still wag my head and disagree with that avenue of literary analysis, but I do not disagree with the action wholesale. When I was a student, I was not taught how to analyze literature correctly, but literary analysis can teach us a lot if we do it correctly.
