Automatic semantic analysis for characterizing and correlating literary elements within a digital work of literature is accomplished by employing natural language processing and deep semantic analysis of text to create annotations for the literary elements found in a segment or in the entirety of the literature, a weight to each literary element and its associated annotations, wherein the weight indicates an importance or relevance of a literary element to at least the segment of the work of literature; correlating and matching the literary elements to each other to establish one or more interrelationships; and producing an overall weight for the correlated matches.
