What LitCharts is

LitCharts provides literature and poetry guides, Shakespeare translations, literary-term resources and tools for studying or teaching literature. Its guides pair a bulleted plot summary with analysis and color-coded themes, helping readers follow ideas across a work. Quotes can be searched by chapter, theme or character; explanations and citation information are among the paid A+ resources. A+ Teacher includes close-reading organizers, essay prompts, discussion questions and comprehension checks. LitCharts also offers AI-powered study answers and generators for discussion, essay and quiz questions. Most website content is free, while guide PDFs, quote explanations and Teacher Editions require a paid subscription. A free account costs nothing and lets users request titles, receive new-title notifications, and save highlights and notes. A+ costs $71.40 a year, billed annually; A+ Teacher costs $95.40 a year, billed annually. LitCharts says it does not offer a free trial, though it provides free samples of downloadable products. Subscriptions auto-renew until canceled, and forgotten cancellations are not refunded. The service is available on the web, Android and iOS for students, teachers and book-club readers.
