Write an analytical essay. You may discuss one or two elements of fiction or drama: theme, character, symbolism, conflict, etc. If you discuss two elements, they must be linked, such as the symbols develop the theme or the conflict. You may discuss a problem with the text, such as the ending or how a character fits a certain concept, such as the get-rich-quick schemer, or why a character does or does not do something or act in a certain way.
