Recent Reviews of Post-1770 Essays

What our users think of the Post-1770 essays in this section:

"This essay is, in place, very astute and has some very interesting and wide ranging points, focusing not only on the actual themes and characters as weaker essays do, but shows an intelligent understanding of the language and what effect it shows. It's lamentable that, then, in such a case, the excellent points made are wasted. The essay title is an intelligent and, frankly, brilliant title but the question never stands answered. Discussion is made of social class, and well-written analysis of the difference between the two mothers is an example of where this essay went well, but then they failed to capitalise on the superstitious and religious emblems in the play, which I would've thought vital to give the essay title a good coverage.

"This is a well-described description of what would be quite a drastic departure from the famous staged version in London's west end. It wouldn't have suffered from that as many of the choices made are intelligent and insightful as to the author's opinions of many of the characters; especially the narrator. However, unfortunately, apart from a couple of points in the essay where the author brings to the forefront certain (very generic) descriptions of opinions of Russell. It's very well that the play is a symbol of Thatcherism, but that isn't shown at all in the essay, essentially ignoring the latter half of the title of the essay. At points, the style of the essay is very casual. TSR User:DavyS"
TSR
"It's clear, with this essay, you aren't entirely sure how to begin or what structure to take. I say this, because while you say you're going to investigate the language to explore certain themes mentioned in your introduction, you never actually get around to doing it - the essay is a mish-mash of random quotes and lacklustre explanation with no overall narrative that ties everything together. What this essay needs most of all is that narrative and a much tighter structure. Then you need to narrow down what themes you're going to explore (communication, occupation, love etc.), and what characters you're going to study (Sarah's not difficult, neither is Manus, but go with whoever you want). Once you've done that, I feel that you'll have a solid base for this essay. TSR User: chidona"

"Some of the points made in this essay were clear and well developed, including an excellent analysis of the role of an apparently minor character and bringing up good points regarding the language in that scene. However, the essay is shortly curtailed. The spelling is all over the place, making it harder to understand. The most disappointing part of the essay is the lack of comparison, besides one generic class-related assertion. There are analyses of the two character but no real indication of how Willy Russell made the characters different, and, despite the latter half of the essay title, how the audience would react to the two characters. TSR User:DavyS"
TSR
"This is a very solid essay, your logic is clear and agreeable, your use of quotations is excellent and really helps lend credibility to your arguments - I especially like your comparison of Lancey to a comic book character and how that changes by the end of the play. Indeed, the overall structure of the essay is excellent and flows logically from one paragraph to the next. That said, the only reason why I couldn't give this a 5 star rating is because there's no introduction, which is a crying shame, as it needs some sort of masterplan to be outlined at the beginning rather than just launching into this essay. That said, this is still a very good essay with plenty of effort and thought put into it - well done! TSR User: chidona"
