For the characters you could add a little more about each one. One thing to be careful of, Biff never went to college, so he didn’t flunk out. Another mistake: Howard is not Willy’s “boos” he is his boss. In your plot summary it jumps from Willy’s flashback with Charley to Willy killing himself, you don’t include the part when Biff tries to tell Willy good-bye, but all Willy hears is that Biff loves him. Check the order or your plot summary there at the end. In your style section, can a play without a narrator have a plot that is written in third person? Your style section seems very disconnected and it doesn’t let me know why you chose to put some of that information there, like the “Willy’s attitude flips…” sentence. I’m not sure why it is in that paragraph. In your theme paragraph I like the ideas behind your theme statement, but I would clean it up a little, it doesn’t sound strong with that last sentence, “Only some people…” I’m confused by this sentence from the symbols paragraph too, “Willy (and Happy) de, and to be desperately y strive to be the best and to have a higher position than he has.” The rest of your analysis looks good. Overall, nice job but there were some mistakes that could be fixed.
Nice job with this post, you might want to add some more about the characters and why they are important. The plot summary of this is very good. In the style section you could put in more of how the author uses these effects, what does that do to the meaning, and why are they used. The theme is good, but I’m not sure it covers everything, what about the conflict between Hamlet’s old, Danish culture and his new, almost Christian culture? How does that fit in with your theme of actions have consequences? Good quote choice from this play.
In this post check for minor problems like when you talk about the Young Man in the plot section you say, “have twins,” not “have been twins” with the bumble. For your theme, to me that just seems to sum up the plot, not bring out the meaning Albee was trying to show through his possibly absurdist play. Your symbolism, motifs, and quotes are good, but your style section just sounds like a list, I would expand on these a little more.
Again, in this post check for small errors throughout the post. I might expand on some of the characters for this, and for the plot it seems very vague, I would go back and make it more specific. Your style section for this post is good, the explanation part of it is helpful. I like the theme, and the supporting symbols are good too. The quote choice works well with your theme, good post overall.
