Bob's feedback:

"This is a really interesting look at the inspirations behind Hamlet. You've included some great historical context to give your readers a sense of what Shakespeare was working with. However, the introduction and conclusion would have your audience believe that the essay is entirely about the parallels between Amleth and Hamlet, while much of the essay branches out into other areas. Make sure your introduction sums up the breadth of your paper, and make sure that each paragraph stays on topic (don't be afraid to break longer paragraphs down into several shorter ones). In doing so, work on transitioning smoothly between topics."
