Comment
There are some really interesting points here, but they are not very clearly expressed. The ideas rather jump around as if they have just come into the candidate’s mind and several need development. Reference to critical approaches is lacking.
For an A grade
- AO1: Structure your essay more logically, building on one idea rather than leaping from one to another – you could have considered the quote from the title itself too.
- AO2: Provide deeper analysis of language and form and the part these aspects play in developing the theme.
- AO3: Draw on critical theories and approaches as a way of supporting your own views and perspectives.
- AO4: More exploration of the difference in Shakespeare’s day between ‘Fate’ and ‘Chance’ is required, and reference to the concept of the ‘Wheel of Fortune’ would help too.
