The intrinsic and extrinsic elements of a literary work cannot be separated simply because the two influence each other. The intrinsic element of a literary work consists of themes, plots, settings, characterizations, points of view, language style, and the mandate contained therein. The extrinsic element of a literary work consists of the subjectivity of the individual author, the psychology of the author and the environment of the author.
