Proposal for literary analysis: plot, central topic, subtopics, space and time. 1 Argument the argument has traditionally been called fable; the Greeks called it myth. The argument is the brief reproduction of the content of the work. The summary of the content exclusively attends the course of events extracts only, in the form of story, what is important for the structure of the action (Kayser, 1970, 98). To obtain a good argument, the development of the action with the greatest possible simplicity must be reduced. When drafting the argument, we should summarize the action or central plot, taking into account only the protagonist and the most important secondary characters.

You must not enter secondary actions, details, descriptions, dialogs, reflections. Good arguments do not even mention names of characters, but they use generic names: a man, a girl, the lawyer, a Prince, his friend, the mother. The argument should be drafted in a very brief paragraph, 5 to 15 lines. What happens more when trying to write an argument is that we obtain summaries or narrations of one or more veneers. These summaries or extensive narratives, we can extract the true argument.

Read the example of a fable or argument (for the work the star of Seville, Lope de Vega) Wolfgan Kayser presents: A King is passionate for a girl, but is humiliated by the brother of this. A noble King gives his word to avenge him, but known then that the offender is his close friend and future brother-in-law, since the girl was his own girlfriend. Despite everything he complies with his word and kills his friend. The King has to fulfil theirs, which had promised him impunity. The two lovers renounce his love (Ibid., 98-99). 2 Central theme the central or main theme is the essential idea that is removed or is inferred from reading. The topic is not always a synthesis of the argument; It is the fundamental element or idea which prevails through all the work.
