Bridget's feedback:

"You've crafted a well-organized and solidly argued essay that responds directly to the prompt with well-chosen textual evidence. I'd say you are looking at a few last tasks to get ready for a final draft, mostly to polish up and make sure the presentation is ready for submission. First, make sure to provide the name and author of the text in your opening paragraph -- even if you know your reader knows, it's good practice and helps assert your control over the source material right away. Second, make sure to follow your style guide on in-text citation parentheticals, as well as line-spacing and indents to ensure the visual presentation supports ethos and also facilitates the reader's experience. Third, a careful proofread will need to be applied to catch occasional minor errors. Your control over word choice, syntax, and flow is very good, so this should be a straightforward task. Watch out for typos (e.g., last sentence: "Laertes takes impulsive...") as well as occasional awkward phrasing (e.g., "Hamlet's act of antic disposition" -- "act of..." is a bit awkward; consider adjectives like "assumed" that don't add a preposition into the mix)."
