submarine is a short story and from this
story
i'll show you samples of the analysis
using different critical approaches
the title of this short story is dead
stars
written by paz marquez benitez a
filipino writer
the short story dead stars revolves
around a man alfredo salazar and his
affairs
alfredo salazar believes in true love
and optimism
to discover ecstasy in its tear
esperanza is the first woman
he falls in love with the families of
both of them
are acquainted with each other and hence
they start a loving relationship
both get engaged after three years of
their relationship

judge
who is a friend of alfredo's father
julia is an optimistic
and enthusiastic person having her own
dreams and desires
when alfredo comes across her he is
strongly attracted to her
on his visit to her with his father he
engages himself in conversation with her
and is attracted to her charm even he is
so passionate
that he doesn't disclose his engagement
to esperanza
so as to avoid the discovery of his
fiancee
he keeps secrets from esperanza too

about his engagement to esperanza
she wishes him for his marriage and
leaves him
on his return home he gets a double blow
he finds esperanza talking to her friend
about loyalty and faithfulness
alfredo senses a desire to communicate
he supports the reason for craving
and choice over this honesty

lust for julia
and soon finds an excuse to meet her
julia is still single that forces
alfredo
to dream about starting a new life with
her
however he soon realizes that everything
is not the same as it were before
moreover julia has also changed lost
something now that we're done reading
the story
i will show you sample analysis using
the following critical approaches
structuralist or formalist approach
historical approach moralist approach
feminist approach reader response
approach
and marxist approach again
analysis literary critique
the first approach that i will discuss
is the structure list or formalist
approach
it holds that the true meaning of a text
can be determined only by analyzing the
literary elements of the text
and by understanding how these elements
work together to form up a cohesive
whole
it is the study of a text without taking
into account
any outside influence like historical
background
and biography of the author in this
approach
what are being analyzed are the
following
literary elements literary devices
structure it means how the work is
structured or organized
and language which means the style of
writing
[Music]
this is a sample structuralist formalist
approach analysis
but in this sample you will see how the
literary elements were analyzed
and how these elements work together to
help us
understand the totality of the text the
literary elements and devices that were
analyzed include
the structure narrator's point of view
foreshadowing types of conflicts
cassamarin and symbolism and
theme
president is a historical approach
it involves the understanding of the
historical
and cultural conditions that influence
the production of the literary work
for example terrarium works about war
nena is
[Music]
analysis using the historical approach
[Music]
and cultural context undead star
and that is to allow us to understand
how courtship marriage and fidelity
were considered in the early 1900s
the third approach is the moralist
approach
to study literature from the moral or
intellectual perspective
is therefore to determine whether a work
conveys a lesson or message and whether
it can help readers
lead better lives and improve their
understanding of the world
[Music]
due to sample moralist analysis
[Music]
cheating can affect relationships and
even marriage
namantayo is a feminist approach
this approach focuses on female
representation
in literature paying attention to female
points of view
concerns and values
three underlying assumptions in this
approach are
western society is pervasively
patriarchal
male centered and controlled and is
organized
in such a way as to subordinate women
[Music]
the concept of gender is socially
constructed
not biologically determined and that
patriarchal ideology pervades those
writings which have been considered
great works of literature
[Music]
so this is a sample of analysis using
the feminist approach
you can see that women during those days
through the character of esperanza
are portrayed to be the typical women
who were very dependent to men
as they could not make decisions for
themselves
now let's talk about the reader response
approach
this approach argues that the meaning of
a text
is dependent upon the reader's response
to it
it is more of the reader's own reaction
to the text
upon reading it that may be influenced
by his or her own experiences
hence two different readers may derive
completely different interpretations of
the same literary text
this is a sample analysis of the text
using the reader response approach
this is the response or reaction of the
writer of the critique
based on his personal perception of the
text
[Music]
the last one is the marxist approach
critics examine the relationship of a
literary product
to the actual economic and social
reality of its time and place
including class stratification
which means that certain tasks in
society
are more valuable than others
class relations which concerns the
authority relationships
based on property ownership
and dominant ideology basically
the rich versus poor issues
it tries to understand how power
politics and money play a role in
literary text
and how these elements impact the
society and characters in the text
class struggle between the rich and the
poor
between the more superior and the less
superior
these are the elements of marxist
approach
[Music]
now for the marxist approach and best
example deto
i am storing the necklace which i
discussed the last video now then
this is the story i discussed on our
previous lesson about
independent critique the analysis tells
us
the impact of the social condition in
the character of mathilde cell
it tries to show how people deal with
their struggle with money
as influenced by the materialistic
values of the french society
[Music]
now that we're done let me give you some
reminders
when asked to compose a literary
analysis
you have to follow this format write an
introduction and the summary
then write the analysis part using the
critical approaches that we discussed
and finally the conclusion
now analyzing a text does not mean
that you only have to focus on one
literary approach
kung minsan we analyze a text using a
varied perspective
or a combination of different critical
approaches
to further interpret evaluate and
appreciate a literary work
