Essay Review for Hamlet
Overall I felt like I did alright with this essay but there are definitely a lot of improvements I can make to strengthen this type of writing. First and foremost, my quotes tended to be strong but I didn't give nearly enough specific analysis about them with quotes of specific words and phrases. I give a general overview and analysis of the quote but my essay would be much better if I chose to hone in and take apart the quote by quote. Part of the reason I didn't do this was because of my second problem. My quotes were most definitely too long and drawn out. I need to pick particular sentence or phrase out of the quote and give more analysis on it rather than putting overbearing amounts of quoted material into my paper. Overall, the largest pressing problem with my writing is that I pick broad quotes and as a result give broad analysis of them. I need to focus in and pick a small section to pick apart and truly analysis in depth.
