Why Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is Not a Love Story

This literary analysis argues that Romeo and Juliet is not a love story but rather a tragedy of lust and naivete. The student zooms in on essentially sexist microaggressions as uttered by Romeo that betray his true regard for Juliet, as well as Friar Laurence's disapprobation.

Bridget's feedback:

"You do a good job getting right down to the text and the characters' own words to build your argument, which is organized well into an easy-to-track five-paragraph format. I recommend building out your introduction and conclusion; for example, your introduction notes Romeo's comments, but your body paragraphs cover a few other details, such as Friar Laurence's disapproval. Giving your reader a hint of what's to come helps them follow the presentation and feel caught up. I also strongly recommend a solid proofread. You have an engaging voice and a good sense of flow; however, frequent typos and errors can trip the reader up. Keep an eye on punctuation in particular, which helps the reader navigate the syntax and get the full effect of your ideas."
