Abstract
Analyzing literary works plays a crucial role in education by fostering critical
thinking, enhancing language skills, and encouraging deeper engagement with cultural
and historical contexts. Through literary analysis, students develop the ability to
interpret complex texts, identify underlying themes, and appreciate diverse
perspectives. This process not only strengthens reading comprehension but also
promotes empathy, as students explore characters' motivations and moral dilemmas.
