<p>Is it a good idea to use one grand example only and examine three small aspects contained in the example? (E.g. examine 3 symbols or 3 characters in a certain movie or novel?)</p>
<p>Everyone seems to advise using 2-3 DIFFERENT examples.</p>
<p>These are generally:
1 from literature
1 historical
optional: 1 anecdotal</p>
