Common mistakes

  • Frankenstein: confusing plot summary vs analysis: Keep plot summary vs analysis clear. Make a claim, use brief textual evidence, analyse the writer's method and explain how it shapes meaning, context, theme, character or comparison. Text-specific focus: Frankenstein is not interchangeable with the other 8702 texts. For this Shakespeare response, anchor the paragraph in creation and responsibility, then use brief textual evidence to explain how the writer develops isolation. A useful Frankenstein answer can contrast ambition with knowledge, because that gives the analysis a text-specific line of argument instead of a reusable AO paragraph. Method work should notice how language, form or structure frames frame narrative. Context should be used only when it clarifies interpretation, reader response or audience response. When comparison is relevant, compare both texts or poems directly: whereas one detail may suggest creation, another may reveal responsibility or isolation. Keep the vocabulary exact: character, speaker, narrator, writer, poet and playwright are not the same role, and the evidence must be explained after it is selected.
