These are the steps I take to interpret the parable we analyze.
1. First I read the parable over and over again until I know it very well.
2. Then I go back to the previous versus to see what happened previously to the parable we were currently reading.
3. Then I look at all of the details and ask myself, why would Jesus put those certain words and details in the parable? I would then pick apart the details and see how and why they effect the story.
4. I would then look at all of the characters. What are there roles in the story? What did they do or contribute?
5. What is the conflict and the problem that is creating the drama?
6. Then I would ask who is doing the oppressing and what is their reason? Who is the oppressed and what are their reactions?
7. Lastly I would put all of those together to come up with my analysis of the parable.
