As it stands, this question seems too broad to work here: there's so many possible answers, based on different types of analysis and different literary criticism schools, so I don't think this could be answered well within the scope of a StackExchange answer. If you narrow it to ask about a particular school and whether/how its methods can be applied, or ask about a particular type of analysis you're interested in and which lens/method would work best for that, then this
might be better (or it might still be too broad or opinion-based, I'm not expert enough in literary criticism to be sure). —
