Common mistakes

  • Pride and Prejudice: 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: Pride and Prejudice is not interchangeable with the other 8702 texts. For this Shakespeare response, anchor the paragraph in marriage and class, then use brief textual evidence to explain how the writer develops judgement. A useful Pride and Prejudice answer can contrast reputation with manners, 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 irony. 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 marriage, another may reveal class or judgement. 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.
