For this essay, you will take a particular aspect of one of the stories we have read (except “The Story of an Hour”) and analyze that aspect in order to illuminate the story itself.
This aspect can be a character (or group of minor characters), an event, a setting, a technique, a theme, a motif; in short, it can be anything about which you can write a supported, interpretive essay.
The aspect you choose should form the basis for an interpretive, debatable thesis; your thesis, supported by evidence directly from the story, should not simply state a fact about the story.
