Well, you can take the academic approach that you usually do in college... Talk about intertextuality (references to Biblical figures, classical mythology, etc.), rhyme and meter, multiple meanings for various symbols and metaphors, and so on. A lot of it is very dry stuff, but with practice a lot of these "analyses" come intuitively as you read a work.
