I talked about the brave grace bit and suggested that the use of an oxymoron and how she occupies both female and male characteristics and also talked about the quotation that had something to do with tricks which conveyed how she is a strong female character whom is able to manipulate the law to her advantage but I also then said that tricks is often associated with a circus based environment and due to her disguise as a male my insinuate her as a weak and a joke of a charter to a ellizabeathan audience during that time period

(edited 6 years ago)
in the extract I wrote about how she regards highly of herself and generally i spoke about her intelligence and the power of the ring, and how she advocates mercy in the courtroom
Good luck everyone :-)
