CRITICAL ANALYSIS
The purpose for writing a critique or critical analysis is to evaluate somebody's work (a book, an essay, a movie,
a painting, etc.) in order to increase the reader's understanding of it. A critical analysis is subjective writing
because it expresses the writer's opinion or evaluation of a text. Analysis means to break down and study the
parts.
The following are the points one should consider in writing a critical analysis:
 Identify the author's thesis and purpose
 Analyze the structure of the passage by identifying all main ideas
 Consult a dictionary or encyclopedia to understand material that is unfamiliar to you
 Make an outline of the work or write a description of it
 Write a summary of the work
 Determine the purpose which could be

o To inform with factual material

o To persuade with appeal to reason or emotions
o To entertain (to affect people's emotions)
 Evaluate the means by which the author has accomplished his purpose
o If the purpose is to inform, has the material been presented clearly, accurately, with order and
coherence?
o If the purpose is to persuade, look for evidence, logical reasoning, contrary evidence
o If the purpose was to entertain, determine how emotions are affected: does it make you laugh,
cry, angry? Why did it affect you?
 Consider the following questions: How is the material organized? Who is the intended audience? What
are the writer's assumptions about the audience? What kind of language and imagery does the author use?
REMEMBER
1. Avoid introducing your ideas by stating "I think" or "in my opinion." Keep the focus on the subject of
your analysis, not on yourself.
2. Always introduce the work. Do not assume that because your reader knows what you are writing about,
you do not need to mention the work's title.
3. Other questions to consider: Is there a controversy surrounding the movie which it concerns?
4. What about the subject matter is of current interest?
5. What is the overall value of the movie?
6. What are its strengths and weaknesses?
7. Support your thesis with detailed evidence from the text examined. Do not forget to document quotes
and paraphrases.
8. Remember that the purpose of a critical analysis is not merely to inform, but also to evaluate the worth,
utility, excellence, distinction, truth, validity, beauty, or goodness of something.
9. Even though as a writer you set the standards, you should be open-minded, well informed, and fair. You
can express your opinions, but you should also back them up with evidence.
10. Your analysis should provide information, interpretation, and evaluation. The information will help your
reader understand the nature of the work under analysis. The interpretation will explain the meaning of
the work, therefore requiring your correct understanding of it. The evaluation will discuss your opinions
of the work and present valid justification for them.
