The student lists several textual features and authorial choices from the work in the essay, including celestial imagery and contrasting diction, effectively identifying techniques such as visual imagery and rhetorical questioning. However, the analysis of these features lacks convincing and insightful connections to the themes of resistance and compliance, which could be strengthened by exploring the implications of characters like Safie and Elizabeth. The student's interpretation is consistently linked to the chosen topic and thesis statement, illustrating how Mary Shelley depicts women's limited roles in society. Furthermore, the evaluation of textual features reveals how effectively they convey the chosen topic, particularly through the analysis of language and imagery related to female identity and autonomy. Overall, while the student demonstrates a solid understanding of the textual features, the depth of analysis and interpretation needs further development to enhance the critique of gender roles.
