Need to analyse a passage and don't know where to start?

Maybe you were given a piece of homework similar to this. You need to analyse a passage but have no idea where to start or what to write. Obviously, it is helpful to start by reading the actual text, but what next? Do you know what is going on between the lines? Confused by some of the terminology?

In the example above, I would first recommend reading through the page in the Crossref-it.info Jane Eyre study guide on Analysing a passage. This will help you come to terms with what is expected of you! After that, you might want to take a look at the relevant synopsis and commentary sections: chapter 4 and chapter 5.

Although we do try to help, we are unable to do all the work for you though, so after this the ball is in your court...
