Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 10 AIL 0957 short lesson, about 20 seconds
What Prose Makes Easier
Captions available
The idea
Prose passages are longer than poems, so there is more evidence for an attribution claim and more room for a narrator to reveal a position. The extra length is an advantage if it is read, and a liability under time pressure if it is skimmed.
In practice
More evidence, if you read it.
Where people slip
Length helps only when read.
