I need a good literary analysis outline for Shakespeare’s Hamlet. My topic is “the search for the truth”.Literary Analysis Outline
I.
Introduction:
a. Introductory Statement/ Hook: Your chance to get the reader’s attention and
display your awareness of the world around you. (think of a big idea that is
connected to your thesis. This is NOT your thesis statement, but a connecting
idea)
b. Transitional Ideas: Connect your opening idea to the book (2+ sentences)
c. Identify Author and Title: This is a transition sentence that will connect the first
part of the introduction to a brief background of the book.
d. Basic Background of Book: 2-3 sentences
e. Thesis Statement: Take a position about the book that can be supported by
events in the book.
II.
Body Paragraphs (at least 3)
a. Body Paragraph 1: Focuses on supporting one aspect of your thesis
i. Topic Sentence: Identifies the focus of this paragraph; should clearly
connect to, develop, and support the thesis statement.
ii. Evidence from the Book: This will either be two to three short examples
OR one extended example.
1. Introduce Evidence : The reader will need the context. Set up the
quote, paraphrase, or summary.
2. Evidence: Use quotations from the book or briefly paraphrase or
summarize events. Do NOT just summarize the entire plot. Avoid
excessively long quotations unless absolutely necessary.
Remember to use your IN-TEXT CITATIONS (Piel 345). In-text
citations will be at the end of any sentence with information from
a source. Inside the parenthesis, you will type the author’s name
and a page number- if there is a page number. Then, you will type
the period. The parenthesis will always be right in front of the
period!
3. Commentary/ connection: Follow the evidence with the
explanation of how this evidence connects to the topic.
iii. REPEAT this process (ii.) for each piece of evidence used!
iv. Closing sentence: Ends this paragraph and wraps up this topic.
