Angela's feedback:

"You put together a very compelling analysis of ambition and its potential effects on the individual and others in Macbeth. Note though that the title of a play should be italicized and that slashes are typically used to separate different lines of a play when it is being quoted; otherwise, the random capitalization can look odd. When showing a quote within quotes, single quotation marks should be nested inside double quotation marks. Review is needed to check end punctuation on statements that conclude with a parenthetical citation. If a quote ends with an exclamation point, the exclamation point comes before the closing quotation mark and is followed by the parenthetical citation and then a period. If a quote ends with a period, no period appears before the closing quotation mark since it’s not the end of the overarching statement. The period is placed after the parenthetical citation only. Standard practice in academic writing is to avoid using singular “they,” and “one” should not be paired with “they” but “one” (e.g., not “If one does . . . they float” but “If one does . . . one floats”)."
