What is Literature?
Point of View
First-person
Literature in the first-person point of view is distinctive because the common use of "I," "my," or "we." This is common in autobiographies but also other forms of written work as well.

Second-person and third-person points of view are also relevant in literature because the point of view determines how the reader is going to understand the story; is the reading reading the narrator's personal experiences? Understanding the narrator's point of view allows the reader to dig deeper into and find hidden messages in the text. :
Characterization
This is the way the narrator describes the way a character looks physically or reveals its traits and motivations.

Characterization also takes place in Hamlet. Ophelia for example is described as a beautiful young woman. Claudius seems to differ from other men, where he is manipulative and lacks morals.
Theme
Themes are very important in literature because the theme is how the reader and the narrator connect.
Some themes in Shakespeare were ambition, love, death, and power. There are surely more themes that can be picked up on but these were the few that stood out to me most.
In Girl by Kincaid I picked up on the themes sexual representation, domesticity, and mother and daughter relationships.
