That's not an analysis that's a story. Analysis is finding a meaning in the story. It can be something specific in the story like what is the meaning of Weiss surlyness. Or something more encompassing as what do they mean by a simple soul.

What you are referring to is story telling in an existing universe. A story can be the result of analysis, actually it should be or it won't make sense in the context of the original story.

Personally I don't like playing in someone else's world. I rather do my own. Analysis is another story, learning how to properly analyze will help you recognize a good story from a bad one. This and learning the basic story structure will help you writing a proper story. Which I haven't seen too much in fanon.
