Add secondary source criticism from others to write a critical analysis. This means that you will need to select a play that others have written literary criticism about. Carefully add their ideas and insights into your own thematic focus and be sure to cite your secondary sources that you paraphrase, as well as the primary sources your quote. Follow these suggestions in writing a critical analysis:
* Use quotation marks around exact wording from borrowed sources. Try to control your borrowed sources by using less that 30% from sources and 70% using your own interpretation and commentary.
* Save your secondary sources for body paragraphs, always introducing and concluding paragraphs in your own words.
* Control secondary sources in your own thematic focus, structure, and organization by developing your thesis throughout your essay.
* Document both primary and secondary sources using parenthetical citations after the sentences they occur and in a Works Cited. Follow MLA format.
