The questions we ask are shaped by how we think, the way we have come to see things.

Depending on what we are looking at, we bring certain beliefs or dispositions to the discussion.
We filter out some things and let in others.

If we’re unaware of ourfilters, they can bias ourquestions, but if we’reaware of how filtersoperate, we can use themand make our own tohelp us perform ouranalysis.
Gather
In literary analysis, we have a range of filters we can use to examine a text:

This Is What We Have Gathered
Group items by similarities, by things they have in common.
Categorize
Group items by similarities, by things they have in common.
These similarities become the criteria by which you select and group your data.

This selective process is the creation of filters.
Categorize
John Snow used one criteria to create his filter: the number and locations of cholera victims.
Categorize
When we add two or more filters, we are confronted with multiple, sometimes paradoxical, sets of information.
FocusTo explain how all these sets of data
can operate in the same context, we need a statement that reconciles them all.
You must first identify the problem before you can propose a solution
-You must first identify the specifics of what is happening before you can create an explanation for what it happening
-What we are after is an explanation for how things work: that is the focal idea that guides our study
-Once we have identified the focus, then we decide how to explain it to others
FocusWe need an inductive statement.
"These violent delights have violent endsAnd in their triumph die like fire and powder,Which as they kiss consume."
"More light and light it grows, more dark and dark our woes!" (3.5.35-36)
[…] Although I joy in thee,I have no joy of this contract to-night:It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden;Too like the lightning, which doth cease to beEre one can say 'It lightens.’
LEADING MOTIVES IN T HE IMAGERY OF SHAKESPEARE'S TRAGEDIES by Caroline Spurgeon
0. she doth teach the torches to burn bright
her eyes in heaven Would through the airy region stream so bright That birds would sing and think it were not night.
[Love is] a smoke raised with the fume of sighs ;
[Juliet’s] beauty makes This vault a feasting presence full of light.
That quench the fire of your pernicious rage With purple fountains issuing from your
veins
quick sparks and glowing furious glead . . . from your beauty's pleasant eyne, Love
caused to proceed Which have so set on fire each feeling part
of mine That lo, my mind doth melt away, my
outward parts do pine
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.(2.6.1)
Focus
FocusThis is a statement that clarifies how all the categories work together. It is an explanation.
FocusThis explanation enables us, at last, to make sense of the thing we are studying.
FocusThis is what analysis is: Gathering data and finding its patterns until we understand how the patterns work together
FocusWe understand
FocusWe have found meaning
FocusThis explanation becomes the center
point, the focus, of our discussion now.

When we write, this focus can be a thesis, an argument, a theme, a tone.
The structure is based on the way we choose to present the explanation to our audience.

The focus becomes the thing that holds our structure together.

Another concept within the focus is “the golden thread.”
The golden thread is made clear by phrasing that reminds the reader of our focus.
