Hey guys (and girls), is my thesis for the common module good (you can use it and change it a bit if you want if it's good)?

Through conscious and unconscious choices which are determined by context, composers represent individual, collective and universal human experiences that reflect the complexity of the human condition. This notion holds true for Shakespeare’s Elizabethan “The Merchant of Venice”, which demonstrates how storytelling is, and consistently has always been, a powerful way to explore how human experiences shape individuals and their behaviours. Through a dramatic structure, and the mastery of techniques such as the primacy effect, characterisation and rhetoric, Shakespeare encourages his audience to reflect personally upon how experience shapes our identity and the degree to which we have the freedom to make choices in our life. The latter further enables us to perceive the world differently. These concerns are examined through the significant themes of appearance vs reality, justice and mercy, and the conflicts between money, power and love. By engaging with this text, contemporary audiences come to a greater understanding of the enduring anomalies, paradoxes and inconsistencies in human behaviour and the human condition.

My themes are appearance vs reality, the interplay of justice and mercy, and the conflicts between money power and love. Another question I have is that is context important for the common module? I may only write like one sentence a paragraph on context, or integrate it with my analysis. Thank you

I don't think you should mention techniques in your intro unless they are EXTREMELY central to your argument. I don't think you should flat out use the word "themes" and then list your themes. And like Idkkdi your thesis should depend on the question you are answering because effectively it is your argument/answer so it really should never be the same. Also I find the context isn't as important for the common module as it is for mod A and mod B but having a bit is still good nonetheless.

That is very true, the thesis should suit the question lol, but this is just a very general thesis I can hopefully adapt to questions

Context is always important, as it will add depth to your response. If you can integrate it with your analysis, that would be optimal.

for the merchant of venice it'd be good to know a bit about Shakespeare's Elizabethan context that would've influenced the way he constructed his characters. eg, how Shakespeare encouraged his Elizabethan audience to 'see the world differently' by challenging their prevalent antisemitic values etc
