At its heart, critical analysis is subjective writing. This is because it expresses the author’s evaluation of and/or opinion on a theory or a set of research results. The ‘analysis’ in critical analysis means to break down and study the constituent parts of the theory, findings and associated discourse. Writing a critical paper requires two steps: critical reading and critical writing. It can be portrayed as a three-step process:

  • how it looks
  • how it works (by taking it to pieces)
  • how it compares to other things (the wider context; the associated literature) so as to make a judgement about its value or significance
