Reflection and Wrap-up

Hopefully, you have done well on the check-ups and have gained not only a knowledge of what happens in your two plays but also have more awareness of the choices that each author is making. As you work on comparing and contrasting your plays, remember that literary analysis focuses on not only what the author says, but also on how and why the author creates a work of literature.
