  • Simplistic

    The thoughts and points provided are good, but the overall analysis is shallow and isn't supported well by text.

  • Sane or Insane

    Although the author does a fine job giving reason why Hamlet may be insane he only provides one that hints that the character is sane. If s/he provided more examples of that sort the essay would have been more balance and longer. I would add something about how in Act 1 scene 5 hamlet tells Horatio that he is going to feign madness, and how hamlet only acts unsoundly around certain charaters. in addition some character actually doubt whether or not Hamlet is really crazy or just acting so...

  • Hamlet

    Good start, but it was extremely short and doesn't have a very good introduction. This essay jumps right into the topic..it would have been better if it had a nice introduction to so the reader would be put in the right frame of mind for the rest of the essay.

  • Okay

    Should have cut up essay more. Good ideas but paragraphs were too long so some thoughts ran together.

  • Interesting

    i think this essay missed the piont of hamlet to a degree. part of the reason Shakespeare writes it as he does is to pose the question in the spectators mind "Is Hamlet really crazy or is he just faking it?" I think that it is diffucult to fully proved either side and upon careful analysis you'll see that many of the pionts you brought out could be easily countered by someoneagruing that Hamlet was sane.

  • Great

    Well written and uses good formats and bibliography. Shows an awsome understanding of the material, and pulls from a large set of sources.

  • Okay

    It's a good start but it doesn't use transitions so it doesn't flow very well, and it's explinations are not very indepth

    Well written but is only emcompases a small part of the entire play. Could have been much better if expanded.

    This essay showed a good understanding f both the material (and we all know shakespeare can be hard) and mla format...which can be harder. I thought the conclusion could have been stronger, but it fit in well with the rest of the essay.

  • Okay

    It was an elementary analysis, however it was good for a high school level paper. I also believe that you are getting carried away when you say that Hamlet and his mother Gurtrude were sleeping with one another. Yes there are incestuous overtones, and hamlet does have a obsession wth his mother but no where does shakespeare imply that this obsession was actually manifested but a sexual act.

  • Unclear

    Doesn't show elevated language and sentence structure. I also agree with DerekMango that the paragraphs should have been separated.

    Well written but it has a weak thesis. The fact that the major theme of "The Scarlet Letter" was sin of the flesh is a known subject to anyone who has even read a footnote about the book. Although it is a good essay in it's structure and writing, if the same author used those skills to write about a more in depth an analytical subject the paper could have been better.

    Very good essay. Although the topic is alittle weak s/he carries it out very well. There seemed to be some computer problems that made useing 's unclear but that's nothing that couldn't be fixed. Overall good paper!!

    Great paper. Includes everything you need...citations, bibliography, and elevated language. You can tell this is a college paper.

    This essay was really good. It was helpful that they included citations next to quotes. There isn't a clear thesis or conclusion but hat could be easily rectified. All in all it is a great start.

    This essay was well written and had a great and unique approach. I'm not sure if it could be used very easily to help other's writting. I also think S/he should have included a bibliography.

  • Work in progress

    Although I believe that overall this is a good essay, I think it could be better with some minor adjustments. For example the author uses a lot of information and statistics from other articles, and although the source is put in (parentheses) aside it, s/he doesn't have a formal bibliography. Because of this the reader doesn't know what year the articles or sources were written in, or the creditability of the authors who wrote them. Overall when reading one can tell that it is a high school level paper. However I must give credit that the author has a definite distinct voice and tone throughout the essay.
