When analysing and responding to a text, consider how a writer uses form, structure and language - thinking about the effect they have on the reader and audience.

Analyse the following:

• FORM - is the name of the text type that the writer uses. For example, there are adverts, scripts, sonnets, novels etc. All of these are different text types that a writer can use. The form of a text is important because it shows the writer's intentions, characters or key themes. In this case, we are looking at the play form and how Shakespeare manipulates the audience.
• STRUCTURE - is how the plot is ordered and put together for the reader. You can think of plot at a text level but also at a sentence level. In this case, we are looking at the order of events in Shakespeare's play.
• LANGUAGE - is the words a writer uses and what impact they have. In this case, we are looking at the words Shakespeare uses. What words does he use? Why? What effect does this have? Does he employ any language devices in his writing? For example: metaphor, imagery, alliteration, pathetic fallacy etc.
