Common trap

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde: 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: The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is not interchangeable with the other 8702 texts. For this Shakespeare response, anchor the paragraph in duality and reputation, then use brief textual evidence to explain how the writer develops science. A useful The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde answer can contrast secrecy with morality, 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 Gothic structure. 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 duality, another may reveal reputation or science. 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.
