In literature classes, the teacher often asks children to plan the analysis of a lyric and write based on it, detailed analysis of certain works. What to do in this case, the student? What key features should pay attention to? Let's answer these questions together and practice will fix that first speak in theory.
Given that poetry is a reproduction of subjective moods, feelings, thoughts of the author, full analysis of the poem can not be conceived without taking into account the specific historical circumstances that have taken place in the life of the writer when creating artworks. However, the analysis of lyric poems (grade 11 and others) should include biographical information and facts only with the caveat that first they will be subjected to critical reflection. Because not all information is of direct importance for the specific poem.
Usually historical and biographical review includes a description of the personal life of the author (the situation that at the time of writing occurred in his family, with loved ones, friends, companions, relationships with others, etc.) and the situation in the country (linking the poem to the era especially characteristic of the turning points of development of the state, for example, public and political motifs are widely present in the lyrics of poets of the Silver age, whose share had the meeting with the demolition of the old system and the birth, but of blood and flames, the new world).
Further, the plan of the analysis of lyric verse requires the definition of a poem as a work of a certain genre. For the lyrics, which, along with drama and epic, is one of 3 genera in the literature, characterized by the following genres:

Ends on whether the definition of the genre analysis plan lyric? Of course not! We can say that we are still in the beginning!
The Terms “subject” and “idea” often difficult to perceive not only students, but also adults, for whom Philology is not a matter of life. In order to create at least one plan of analysis of lyrical poems (grade 8 and similar), it should be understood that the subject has a more General, abstract, global value and answers the question: “what is this poem About?”. It can be about love (love poems), about friendship, about philosophy, about the nature(landscape), the place of the poet and poetry in society, can be the product of the confessional, etc.
The Idea is to understand topics and in its essence it is not only individual, but also more concrete, substantive and practice-oriented. The analysis of a lyric cannot be considered complete if the reader will not understand the idea. To achieve this goal, you can refer to the subsidiary questions:
In this section, the analysis of a lyric provides analysis of the title terms of the initial formation of expectations, assumptions, formation of a certain mental development of the content. Whether this title reflects the essence of the poem? Usually you can get an affirmative answer, but it is not constant. Writers often resort to the admission of frustrated expectations, juxtaposition (antithesis) the name and internal content of the verse. All this author did deliberately, and, therefore, the analysis of such important details should not be missed. Semantic content can be understood also through improved channels of perception. It is enough to answer a few questions:
Next, we turn to a detailed analysis of the art form.
If we are talking about the analysis of lyric poems literature, you should never forget about the existence of the unity of content and form. The writer does not randomly uses certain techniques, the specific structure, strafica, rhythm, and size – all is subordinated to the General idea. Therefore, it is advisable to perform a work from the point of view of its belonging to a literary direction, in the aspect of composition, or division into semantic components (sometimes linear, circular, parallel, etc.) and syntactic and strophic divisions.
Rhythm, or periodic repetition in the poem of homogeneous elements, measuring the size (if a work is written in verse, hareem, anapest, amphibrach, dactyl, spondee or perriam), rhyme (rich or poor, male or female) and rhyme (cross, steam room, wrap-around) – all essential elements of analysis in the case when the aim is a good support plan to the analysis of lyric poems (grade 7 and beyond) and, as a result, a comprehensive consideration of the work itself.
To show how to look competent analysis, take the poem "Oro", created by Alexander Sergeyevich in the period from September to November 1928. Analysis of the lyrical poems of Pushkin let's start with the biographical information of significance to the creation.
It was established for the return of the poet from exile in Mikhailovskoye. By this time his hopes on the free creativity was completely destroyed. In the basis of the work lay polulegendarnaya stories about the poisonous ANCHAR tree, supposedly growing on the island of Java. This is a lyrical poem, however, the presence of obvious storyline makes his lyric-epic genre – a ballad.
Analysis of lyric poems by Pushkin requires consideration of the composition. It consists of 2 parts which include 5 and 4 stanzas. In the verses of the first part the reader becomes an observer, lifeless picture of the world, the center of which – “terrible hour”. Time here seems to stop, and the space is bare, empty areas were opened wide and took the entire universe. In the 2nd part we are transported to the area of human relationships between “Lord” and “slave”.
The Size of the poem – chetyrehstopnym pentameter with perriam, i.e. the omission of the accent in the foot. Pentameter, a favorite size of Pushkin, was associated the poet with the maximum freedom in versification. That is why here, in the work, which reflects the social injustice of the world order, where it so clearly raises the theme of freedom and tyranny, versification, and other details as yourself would reveal to the reader one of the key ideas of Pushkin's genius – active disagreement, clear, loud protest against the infinity of the power of one person over another.
To Complete the analysis of the works related to civil lyrics, thoughts, debate or consent with the author's position.
