Addressing a prompt with a quote in it?

[Eugenet17]

When a text response prompt has a quote in it, are you meant to address/include it in your contention? for example, " Near the end of the novel Michele tells Filippo, "There is nothing to be scared of.". To what extent does fear motivate the characters in this text?

Thanks

Basically, you need to connect the two ideas in your introduction. Here's a very basic example of what you need to do:

A sense of fear is vividly portrayed throughout [author]'s [title]. As outlined towards the end of the novel, this integral theme is shown both to inhibit and motivate the actions of various characters as Michele and Filippo...

Some people like to include the quote in their introduction; I prefer to leave it to the body and break it up there just so that it appears a bit less formulaic. Basically, the examiner just wants to see that:

1. You know how to tackle this type of question.
2. You understand the context in which the quote has originated from.
3. You acknowledge how the provided quote is relevant to the topic.

I'm sorry if this wasn't helpful - I'm not the strongest in English. :/
