- Your use of textual references is frequent, relevant, and usually well embedded into your own argument.
- You interpret Collins as both a comic individual and a product of a status-conscious society, which gives the essay a clear conceptual depth.
- Some contextual points about Regency society stay broad rather than precise.
- A few claims about social validation would be stronger with one or two more concrete textual moments.
- The opening and conclusion could anchor the argument more tightly in the novel’s specific methods and evidence.
