The student demonstrates a thorough understanding of the literal meaning of the text, effectively analyzing Macbeth's soliloquies to illustrate his psychological detachment. The student's interpretation of the indirect meaning of *Macbeth* is convincing, particularly in how Macbeth's psychological state evolves through his soliloquies, emphasizing his emotional disconnection. A focused and informative thesis statement is present in the introduction, clearly outlining the main argument about Macbeth's increasing detachment. The analysis, interpretation, and conclusions are well-aligned with the thesis, providing a plausible exploration of the text. However, the student needs to strengthen their analysis by including more direct textual evidence to support their arguments regarding Macbeth’s internal conflict and detachment.
