Was my Jekyll and Hyde mark correct

Concerned that my Jekyll and Hyde mark was too low. Question was about how Hyde was presented.
Got 18/30

Personally, I don't think its too low. It seems about right.
You've included context, writer's intention, impact on readers which would generally allow you to score higher however your analysis isn't fantastic. In some parts you've stopped using Stevenson's name altogether- paragraph 1- (you need to use it way more) and you've neglected naming enough language devices (even saying simple ones e.g. verbs/nouns). There are also many quotes e.g. "ape-like fury" that you've just said and you can say a lot about them as well as a link to context). It's good that you keep linking back to the question but another thing that brings you down is your style of writing - especially Paragraph 1 where some parts sound a bit informal.

Also, Paragraph 3 - you have 2 quotes - this isn't enough
Regardless, well done :smile: you had some great context links/writer's intention/impact on the audience
