This is a fluent answer that offers an understanding of the play and makes confident references both to critical works and to other literary works. Language and structure are referred to, though these comments could be further developed.

For an A grade

  • Make more extensive use of literary terms, e.g. oxymoron, simile, metaphor, for AO1.
  • Develop more detailed analysis of language and structure; closer textual analysis of some quotations. Support some points with further comment and textual evidence for AO2.
  • Ensure the views of all critics referred to are evaluated sharply for AO3.
