## 4. Poetry (Epic, Sonnet, Lyric, Narrative, Satirical etc.)

**Primary Focus:** Prosody, imagery, symbolism, emotional resonance, and structural form.

**Classification Rules:**
1.  **High Value:** Metrical analysis (meter/rhyme scheme), key symbols/metaphors, emotional tone shifts, structural integrity (stanza form). -> **Keep & Polish**
2.  **Medium Value:** Biographical context of the poet, publication history, literal paraphrase of content. -> **Merge & Summarize**
3.  **Low Value:** Obvious translations (if original is known), generic praise, formatting errors in transcription. -> **Delete (Log in report)**

## 5. Literary Theory and Criticism

**Primary Focus:** Critical frameworks, methodologies, key terminology, and application to texts.

**Classification Rules:**
1.  **High Value:** Definitional frameworks (e.g., Structuralism, Post-colonialism), methodological applications, key critic arguments, paradigm shifts. -> **Synthesize & Archive**
2.  **Medium Value:** Specific case studies used in the theory, critic's biography, affiliation with schools of thought. -> **Summarize & Link**
3.  **Low Value:** Outdated critiques, redundant definitions, unrelated literary gossip or news. -> **Discard or Tag for Review**

## 6. Prose (Essays, Non-fiction)

**Primary Focus:** Argumentation structure, rhetorical strategies, voice, and actionable insights.

**Classification Rules:**
1.  **High Value:** Central thesis, rhetorical devices (ethos/pathos/logos), unique authorial voice, actionable takeaways. -> **Keep & Polish**
