Word length of theoretical framework

L

Good afternoon!

So it's going ok, but I have a little question for you all, how long are your literature reviews/theoretical frameworks? Mine originally was going to about 24,000 words with 26,000 for analysis but I now have an additional analysis chapter so I'm looking to cut from somewhere! Would about 3 chapters of 6,000 words each be sufficient? (So that I can steal the 6,000 words for my analysis which will obviously be tonnes more interesting to read!) I know a lot of it will depend on how succinctly I can word it, and the quality of my background reading. What's the average (if such a thing exists)?

Thanks!
