This essay demonstrates a clear appreciation of the emotions of Katharina and the Plath’s poetry. You have clearly identified specific emotions, you have explained their context and then explored the language that the writers use to strengthen the emotional effect in their writing. You work systematically and write with well-structured clarity.

To develop your work further, you will want to:

1) Ensure you explore the language of Shakespeare’s play in as much detail as you explore the language of Plath’s poetry by exploring the language devices he used to strengthen the effect of the emotions of the characters
2) Consider the text-type more, a poem and a play each has it’s unique nature – for example, a play is delivered live and has an audience. Do you think there is room there for emotions to be further strengthened?
3) Make a clearer comparison between the two texts. Did the authors use similar or different language effects?
