Is it a good exercise to write a critical analysis of a work that doesn't actually exist?

How do you post an imaginary text?
Wouldn't that just make it a real text?

How does one adequately break down what isn't there? Assumed the question was tic, responded tic.

I have written more analysis of the works I haven't written than I have in attempting to write them.

It's recommended to start with the Greeks. Most important authors read them and you'll want to be informed on the story of Agamemnon and other figures before moving on to the "big three".

You think someone could actually publish a collection of such works?

If you want to practice for writing bullshit reviews than, yes. That way you can became a movie critic, make few templates and add in changes after you see the movie. the key is to make sure you can stretch content for maximum page views

I would agree, but I think that in this case, OP would be better with the (Greeks)i instead.

>At its climax, Ellisia Parker’s Silent Swan is presented as a tale of romance between two people in the grips of serious drug addiction. This aspect of the novel is what has attracted a worldwide audience of female readers, women who applaud the uncanny courage and strength in the face of hardship by Sasha, the book’s protagonist. Yet the novel as a whole rejects love and its revered status in society— this can be seen from the opening lines of the book, where Sasha admits to the reader that “The feeling junk brings takes precedent” (Parker, 1). During Sasha’s first meeting with Hayden, her drug dependant equal she mocks his apparently honest desire for her, saying to herself “his heart is a funny little device” (Parker, 29). By the end of the novel it is revealed that Sasha’s choice to become dependant on heroin was that, her own informed choice, and not the result of any hardships or societal pressures; it is affirmations like this which mark Parker’s outright rejection of love, relationships, romance, and love in general.

Feels like I’m writing a Borges story desu
