should we include context of each text in the intro, i feel like it takes up too much time...
Not much, only write anything got to do with the thesis. For example: “Shakespeare’s titular tragedy
Hamlet (1600) epitomises the anti mimetic nature of art and literature through Hamlet’s paralytic mindscape, resultant of conflicting Feudal and Humanist paradigms.” But not: “Written during a period of burgeoning humanist philosophies, Shakespeare’s titular
Hamlet affirms Feudal social structures such as divine preordination while simultaneously proposing the effect of Renaissance Humanist philosophy” (idk I wrote the second one on the spot)
save the context for the peels
