Teacher essay summary
An interesting and well written essay and the writer is obviously a very capable student who knows the novel well.
The very good points of this essay are the perceptive and sophisticated comments especially relating to the craft of the author. There are some interesting and original ideas expressed here.
Sometimes these interesting ideas are under explored or make the essay lose focus on the actual essay question. The structure of the essay needs more work.
