For instance, if you io duct a study on Shakespeare''s works, you might as well begin with genre （sos, plays）; if you choo his plays, then narrow down and decide upoype of plays （edy, tragedy, historical play, etc.）; if you pick Shakespearean tragedies, then narrow down to, say, the Tragedy of Macbeth. And there is still mu for narrowing down even from there, for example which character you are ied in （e.g. Macbeth himlf, or Lady Macbeth）, or which method you want to adopt for analysis （say, a Freudian approach, or a perspective of evolutionary psychology）. Ambitious beginning rearchers tend to choo topid scopes to which their fledgling abilities are unequal, therefore they should stantly be reminded of "narrow down."
Delimitation of your rearch sust also be in accordah the nature of your rearch - is the purpo of your study expository （i.e. prentation of specififormation or data）, analytical （i.e. analysis of views, ideas, theories, literary works, etc.）, umentative （i.e. arguing fainst a thesis）? Although there isn''t always strict demarcatioweeypes of rearch （for instance, argumentation naturally entails analysis and prentation of information）, such differences in rearch purpo evertheless help you decide which aspect of the subject you will trate on, thereby giving you some idea as to an appropriate scope.
