This literary analysis worksheet covers Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment” and includes an answer key. Ideal for high school American Literature classes and units on parables and allegories, the activity pushes students to move beyond surface-level comprehension, challenging them to make inferences about the author’s intentions and apply knowledge of the elements of fiction.

The close reading activity will prompt students to do the following:

  • Read for literal comprehension
  • Consult reference materials to learn and verify word meanings as needed
  • Infer the intended effects of the author’s word choices and narrative techniques
  • Explore how characters think, behave, interact, and develop
  • Compare and contrast characters
  • Apply knowledge of literary devices including euphemism, foreshadowing, metaphor, personification, symbolism, and more
  • Write about literature with clarity, accuracy, and precision
  • Support claims and inferences with sound reasoning and relevant evidence
  • Come to class better prepared to discuss works of fiction
