Q. How could this be improved?
TUTOR'S REPLY
The student is attempting to describe a particular feature of the play by using critical terms, but is somewhat confused in their application. The student needs to check in a dictionary of literary terms the precise meanings of the terms 'symbolic' and 'allegorical' and decide which one is more appropriate to use in this instance.
