Write a research-based literary analysis essay analyzing what Pratchett is trying to convey to his readers and how he conveys it through the use of specific literary devices like character development, allusion, satire, plot structure, themes, etc.
Present an argument regarding the novels theme (what is Pratchett trying to tell his readers), and logically develop this argument with evidence (both quotations and paraphrases) from the text.
Scholarly research is required (minimum 2 sources). Provide in-text citations, and works cited page.
The purpose is not to summarize its content but to carefully mark specific literary devices, use evidence from the entire novel to support claims about those devices, and establish how such devices help the author convey his theme/message.
In the introduction, you may set the context of the author and his writing or start with the larger context of witches and their historical portrayals before narrowing it down to the author and the novel.
At the end of the introduction, should be a thesis statement that makes a precise claim about what the author is trying to convey and how he conveys it.
In the conclusion, touch on the main ideas but dwell on the larger implications of Pratchetts writing and its relevance.
