"Novels require more extensive plot analysis."
Explanation: novels are longer and include multiple episodes, subplots, and character arcs that must be traced to see how themes develop across the whole work. Short stories are more compressed—they usually focus on a single incident or moment, so theme analysis hinges on a close reading of a smaller set of details, but not on extensive plot tracing.
