AQA B English Literature essay help

I'm struggling a little bit with what to do for my essay. AO2 says 'Detailed analysis of language from the text showing consideration of the dramatic form and plot structure.'

I understand the analysis bit pretty much but how can that show 'consideration of the dramatic form and plot structure'? I'm doing A Midsummer Night's Dream btw Thanks! :smile:

You need to link the analysis back to the dramatic form and what happens in the play. So, instead of saying, 'Shakespeare subtly uses iambic pentameter to create a prosaic rhythm to the line', you ought to say, 'Shakespeare subtly uses iambic pentameter to create a natural prosaic rhythm to <character name>'s line, as if _____________'

So always be specific to the text, plot (what's happening) and the fact that this is a comedy - you want to show them that this language is used to enhance the fact that the play is a comedy.

Best of luck!
