The student listed several textual features and authorial choices from Shakespeare's "Hamlet," including character doubling, the play-within-a-play motif, and the use of repetition. These features are analyzed convincingly, highlighting the cyclical nature of revenge and the futility of vengeance, and are directly linked to the chosen topic and thesis statement regarding duplication and duality. The student appropriately interpreted these elements, emphasizing the contrasting moral perspectives of characters like Hamlet and Laertes, and evaluating how effectively they convey the theme of revenge. Overall, the analysis demonstrates a coherent understanding of the central themes in the play.
