You will structure your essay the same as the fiction analysis – intro, thesis statement, at least two well-developed body paragraphs with textual evidence, and a conclusion. Go back and review the literary analysis outlines for fiction and poetry to get an idea of structure.
So, in short, you need to have the following things in your essay:
introduction with a thesis statement as last sentence (literary/dramatic devices you’ll discuss and theme/focus)
at least TWO WELL-DEVELOPED body paragraphs with textual evidence from the play
don’t forget to analyze the evidence itself (“Why is this example important to my point? What about this particular evidence supports my claims?”
don’t forget to answer the “so what” and “why” of your points/evidence and how they connect to and prove your thesis
a conclusion
You have to include line numbers as part of your citations, so make sure to pay attention to that as you locate your textual evidence.
Please review MLA format – you need a works-cited page for this essay also. I’ve provided the citation for you below.
