When choosing evidence for your literary analysis essay, you should consider the following:

  1. Will the evidence make my essay interesting? - Engaging evidence can enhance your essay and keep the reader interested.

  2. Have I described the evidence accurately? - Accuracy is crucial to maintain credibility and ensure that your interpretation is supported correctly.

  3. Is the evidence relevant to my claim? - The evidence must support your central argument or thesis to be effective in strengthening your analysis.

While "Is the evidence historically important?" might be a consideration in some contexts, it is not always necessary for a literary analysis essay unless historical context directly supports your analysis or claim. Therefore, it isn't essential to consider in every case.
