story analyses useful for writers? I was wondering if there are any websites that offer analyses of stories, written or otherwise, with the intention to teach people

I was wondering if there are any websites that offer analyses of stories, written or otherwise, with the intention to teach people something about writing and storytelling?

I realize I can just google for analyses on specific works of litterature, but I thought maybe someone had made a more collected effort. Pehaps even divided into different aspects of writing/storytelling, such as prose, characters or story structure.

Might be tempting for lazy kids who don't want to do their homework, though...

Try tvtropes.org. It's an exhaustive list of tropes and idioms and written in kind of a smart-alecky tone, but among the snark there's genuinely useful analysis.
