A level coursework, how to get an A?

I’m currently doing my coursework and I’m feeling very lost, my feedback suggests I should explain why my theme is gothic, but I don’t know anyway how to put this into my work. Is there any way I can introduce the ideas as to why my theme is considered gothic and why it’s important.
Maybe outline some key features of the gothic and a little bit of the history behind the literary movement in your introduction, and then make sure to link back to your intro and topic focus throughout the essay. Using umbrella opening statements and linking at the end of paragraphs can be a good way of doing this; specifically this allows you to hit the comparative elements and not go too off topic. Without knowing your texts or reading your work I can't offer more focused help sorry, all I can say is make sure your really know your texts and what constitutes gothic lit x

Good luck!!
