•
use words like allegory, antithesis, microcosm, hubris etc…
•
Explain from different POV’s E.G. a feminist point of view to argue you point further
•
Use context of the writer and of the time the set text was set: something that impressed my teacher was knowing my authors style of writing and how it differed or stayed the same in the text i studied (talk about the effect of this style as well E.G. the author may have written in expressionism - what effect does this have?
•
Talk about structure - why is this sentence here and not there?
•
Effect of a contemporary audience vs a contextual audience *more likely to do this for a play - if taking about a novel say ‘reader’ not ‘audience’
•
In a play- you MUST prove you know it’s being preformed - watch the play, make notes on the tone the actor is speaking in then comment on that in your essay
•
Read or research other literary texts that relate to the one your writing about and use it to back up/solidify your point
•
Stick to the question - I myself find myself writing of things separate to the question asked in order to fit everything in, instead of this do an in-depth analysis; this means providing alternative views, critics etc…
•
Always relate back to how something makes the reader/audience feel
•
Can use techniques like: hyperbolic/emotive/melodramatic lang, assonance, anaphora, paradox, euphemism, colloquialism, pathos, ethos, motive etc..
Am so sorry if this was long, it’s also good to remind myself as i am always forgetting to do these things in an essay.
