Angela's feedback:

"You provided a lot of detailed analysis in your work that addresses the prompt, and you were thorough in your coverage of the play's different sections. It was a good idea to discuss Macbeth's development as a character according to the different phases of transformation he goes through in the course of the play. However, both the organization of your essay and your writing conventions could be improved. For example, there's a very distracting moment where a sentence is cut off midthought and the rest of the statement appears as a new paragraph. You also refer to Macbeth as "Mac" at the beginning of your essay, which is inappropriate in an academic context."
