For this topic, the first book that pops into my mind is Beloved by Toni Morrison. I read it in my senior year of university, when I was preparing for postgraduate exams—and it totally reshaped how I see literary analysis. Seriously, it blew me away.


Before this book, I always thought literary analysis was pointless, a total waste of time, in my eyes. But since analyzing books through different literary theories was part of my exam prep, I had to practice interpreting novels and poems in different lens of literary theories. That’s when everything changed.


The book tells the story of Sethe, an enslaved woman tormented by the ghost of her infant daughter, Beloved. Morrison uses a nonlinear, to put it simply, a fragmented narrative style, she shifts back and forth between Sethe’s memories, the ghost’s voice, and other characters’ thoughts constantly. At first, I could tell it was really well-written, but I had no idea how to explain why it was so great in my own words.


Once I started using narrative perspective theories to analyze it, everything clicked. I realized that, in this book, the fragmented style isn’t just a personal writing choice, it shows how slavery took away Sethe's ability to tell her own story clearly. Those theories helped me put into words exactly what I’d felt but couldn’t express on my own. Suddenly, I understood why literary analysis is so cool: it’s not about overcomplicating things, but finding the hidden themes that make masterpieces like this one so successful.
