The student listed several textual features and authorial choices such as the traditional gothic setting, symbolism, and animal and nature imagery. These were analyzed with some insight, effectively connecting them to the portrayal of gender roles and societal customs. However, the analysis was not directly linked to the chosen topic and thesis statement, as the concept of anthropocentrism was insufficiently explored and required more detail. Despite this, the textual features and authorial choices were appropriately and convincingly interpreted, aligning with the topic of societal gender dualism and the text's themes. The evaluation of how effectively the textual features conveyed the chosen topic was effective, particularly in terms of the impact on the portrayal of societal customs and gender dynamics within the text.
