Jessica's feedback:

"You did a great job grounding this essay in the text of the poem and using specific examples to illustrate your points. However, the essay needs a round of editing and proofreading to address grammar, punctuation, spelling, and other issues. You have several run-on sentences and other comma errors. I noticed that you capitalized words that are not proper nouns, such as "Annoyance," "Vengefulness," and "Fear," and that you tend to capitalize the first letter of all direct quotes; these should be corrected. Finally, be careful to follow the MLA style guide for in-text citations; you need the title of the work followed by the line number(s) you are referencing. When you add a word to a direct quotation (for example, when you insert "Grendel" to clarify the sentence, you need to use brackets and not parenthesis."
