Hey,
In general for high grade essays, you need:

Per paragraph: 4-6 quotations, analysing at least 3 of them

I always had 3 paras

You can pretty much structure it however, but it helps for getting the highest grade if you have some idea of context and can say something to do with how Priestley uses X to reflect Y thing happening in his time

And then specifically for theme I generally did it:

Perceptive point to do with the context/Priestley's intention

Character 1

Character 2

You'll need to talk about like 4 characters but only 2 of them really need to be detailed

Hope this helps xx feel free to message me if u want any more help
