This guide explores the nuances of literary analysis through three distinct levels: Comprehension, Analysis, and Evaluation. Each level provides a framework for engaging with a text, from basic understanding to critical discussion. Level 1 focuses on comprehension, ensuring foundational understanding of each chapter. Level 2 emphasizes textual analysis and the use of external sources for deeper insights. Level 3 engages readers in evaluation and abstract discussions beyond the text, fostering critical thinking and interpretation.
