The student lists several textual features and authorial choices from the work in the essay, such as characterization, irony, and symbolism, demonstrating an understanding of how these techniques contribute to the change in family relationships in King Lear. However, the analysis lacks depth in certain areas, such as the interpretation of Gloucester's gullibility and the connection between the storm and Lear's emotions, which could be further clarified to strengthen the arguments. Despite these shortcomings, the student's analysis is generally linked to the chosen topic, effectively evaluating how Shakespeare's characterization reflects the transformation of family dynamics during the Elizabethan Era. Overall, the student shows a good grasp of the text, though some interpretations require more convincing support.
