Thank you so much for this website!
I had to write my literary analysis all in one night because it turns out that it had to be a character analysis, even though i had already completed a perspective analysis 3 weeks before the paper was due, i had no idea that it had to be a character analysis. So I just wanted to say thank you with all my heart!

I have been analyzing Amanda Wingfied from The Glass Managerie. I was wondering if I could analyze both man vs. man with Amanda vs. Tom and man vs. soceity with Amanda vs. Society?

Dr. Davis,
c
I am writting a paper on character analysis of the short story “Everyting that rises must converge” by Flannery O’Connor. I am trying not to focus on the racism, but instead on the fact that the main character has grown apart from his mother due to his education level and his socialization, but he throws all of this away when he rushes to her aid. Do you have any advice?

I would focus on whichever points are actually relevant to the work you are writing about. If you are writing about A Beautiful Mind then writing about man v. his mind is a good idea. If you are writing about The Matrix it might work or it might not, depending on how you approach the movie. If you are writing about The Matrix you would NOT write about man v. animal or man v. nature. That's because those aren't in there. I can give you guidance, but you have to write the essay.

This si really interesting and beificial. But, I think it would be more helpfull to add an example or two of how one can use these points in his essay…? Which to focus on?

How about the conflict of man vs his mind? Schizophrenia–The movie A Beautiful Mind; obessive-compulsive disorder–The movie As Good as it Gets, manic-depression–Kay Jamison, author, (book title flees me). etc.
