Framework for analysis of novels

[Pavan]

A framework for analyzing fantasy novels, as objectively as possible. Of course, each of these categories will be subject to personal tastes (as they should be), but taking all of them into account should help in forming a critical view of the work.

The dimensions along which the books shall be analyzed are:
1. Plot
2. Themes
3. Character
4. World building
5. Setting of the story
6. Prose
7. Magic Systems
8. (Overall Enjoyment)

Each of these is scored out of 5 (or 10, depending on your taste). The total weight is 10, with each of categories 1 through 7 getting a weight of 1 and category 8 getting a weight of 3.

Example:
Say we want to analyze The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien. Scoring out of 5, we have the following:
1. Plot - 3.5
2. Themes - 4.5
3. Character - 3.5
4. World building - 4.5
5. Setting of the story - 4.5
6. Prose - 4
7. Magic Systems - 3
8. Overall Enjoyment - 3.5

Overall score = 3.8
