When you do "literary analysis" or "poetic analysis," what you're doing is akin to torturers in a concentration camp vivisecting political or ethnic refugees. You don't gain anything from it, and it destroys your enjoyment of it. All you do is satisfy your overseers that you've tortured and destroyed enough victims to get a better posting at a college.
Maybe, but the kids are doing analysis for no grade at all. My wife and kids read the books together and relentlessly speculated and analyzed. Then the movies came out and they completely panned the screenplays.
