Analizzare un testo narrativo non è mai un’operazione immediata. A differenza della poesia, dove la struttura e le figure retoriche spesso “saltano agli occhi”, la prosa si muove in modo più fluido e meno visibile: significati, temi e scelte stilistiche sono intrecciati alla storia e ai personaggi, e richiedono attenzione, metodo e allenamento per essere messi a fuoco. Proprio per questo motivo, è importante avvalersi di una guida per orientarsi nella complessità del testo, a scomporlo nei suoi elementi essenziali e a leggerlo in modo più consapevole e profondo. In questo post presento una scheda per l'analisi di un testo narrativo, da vedere non come una gabbia rigida ma come un metodo per osservare il testo con ordine, coglierne i meccanismi narrativi e trasformare la lettura in uno strumento di comprensione critica.

The British ruling class looked upon themselves as the true heirs of the Roman empire as an empire that was comparable with the Roman Empire (see British Empire).
For this reason, classical outlook and imperial pretensions of ancient Rome under the Emperor Augustus were resumed.
Neoclassicism spread in all cultural sectors and became a way of life. The Augustan artists shared a belief in reason as capable of imposing some order on an otherwise chaotic world.
In philosophy, David Hume is the leader of Scepticism: this rational tendency is also apparent in the analysis of religion conducted by the Deists, a group of thinkers who rejected the revealed religion in favour of natural religion.
Upper-class women came to achieve a central role. In their literary salons, women took part in the political, social and literary debates.
The middle class had been important after the Glorious Revolution of 1688 at the point that gradually merged with the aristocratic class. Rich tradesmen and manufacturers bought estates and so seats in Parliament, while their sons and daughters married into the aristocracy, sharing same interests such as trade, agriculture and industrial ventures.
This phenomenon caused a change of social values.
The middle class learnt from the aristocracy good manners, while the aristocracy learnt new values like religious belief in work and strong sense of the family.
The middle class also learnt their manners from the pages of newspapers and magazines. In this period, coffeehouses and clubs were important because people could discuss current events and write there.
