Erin's feedback:

"You include quite a bit of detail in your essay to support the assertions you make about Cupid's role in the two stories you cover -- this is great! That said, it wasn't apparent in your introduction that you intended to compare Ovid's work to Shakespeare's. I would recommend writing a strong, specific thesis statement that states your intent to compare Cupid's role in these two works and outline, at least on a basic level, the points of comparison. You might also consider moving background information (such as the detail about Cupid not being a character in Shakespeare's play) to the introduction and save the specifics -- such as Cupid's role in Ovid's work -- for the body of your essay. Essentially, your essay would benefit greatly from a broader introduction that introduces the character/concept of Cupid and then moves into the more specific information in the body paragraphs. While there aren't a lot of grammar errors in your paper, there are a few run-on sentences and other punctuation errors, so a round of proofreading is recommended, too."
