Notes 4
I've noticed in my writing I often tend to jump into implications and conclusions about a given text that people could easily dismiss because of my lack of support. It is not rare for me to use a short quote to establish the foundation of a claim, then jump into broad speculations that could easily raise questions of justification, as is evident in my Analyses 1 post. Perhaps I received an uncommon impression about Prospero and concluded that he is childlike when it comes to his self-esteem/securities, but regardless, all accusations are acceptable as long as it is accompanied by evidence. I could have employed more quotes with more depth in order to justify my analyses.
Other than lacking support, another hammering to my writing are my misinterpretations and my necessity for closer reading and profound thinking. When discussing Prospero's disposition, I disregarded the fact that what I know of his situation is what he chooses to share, and so his statements are subject to be bias. This allows information to be hid, therefore impairing the legitimacy of my findings. I also failed to look at the whole picture in a different perspective than the concrete, which resulted in a general, unmemorable analyses that seldom provided anything really unique.
My goal for all future writings and analyses is to better justify my claims with solid incontrovertible evidence, and most importantly, to think deeper so as to find more profound interpretations and messages deeply embedded within the context.
