Bridget's feedback:

"I enjoyed reading this essay's blend of personal reaction and analysis. Your tone, diction, and style create a good formal foundation to explore the text on those two levels. I do see some errors and awkward moments in the writing that should be caught and revised. Use a thorough proofread for this task, and watch out for comma usage that can cause clarity issues. I also see opportunities to revise for more efficient phrasing, such as the long sentence that ends para. 2, where a missing comma and some garbled syntax make the meaning difficult to follow. Similarly, make sure to italicize the play's name so the reader more easily identifies when you are referring to the text versus the character."
