If you are looking to address her gender, then you could only use the ones you've mentioned above. Otherwise, depending on the context of your sentence, you would use they, them, it, their

yeah unfortunately i was referring to the gender i feel as though my creative is just going to be filled with lots of repetition of she,her and character's name but thank you

[isaacdelatorre]

whats another way to write her, she and the character's name? Im trying to write my creative writing from a third person perspective but i keep repeating those words I've mentioned.

Hi, I'm by no means an expert at creative writing; but you could refer to the character in terms of physical or behavioural features to emphasise a trait about her or to provide more description of the character

e.g. "The brown haired girl ..." etc.

Feel free to disregard if you think it doesn't work

Hey !!

sorry for all the questions In Hamlet i'm doing the theme morality of revenge and i was wondering if it would be worth while giving context to the time? for example the changing social systems such as feudalism and all that. i'm not sure if it would be worthwhile to mention briefly or to assume that they know or something

Thanks !

I think if you are going to talk about morality of revenge, you can speak about the role of the Renaissance Man and link context there

is superlative language a technique?

is superlative language a technique?

Hey Justina! Yep, it definitely is a technique you can use!

[BPunjabi]

Hey guys!
I need to know what technique is in this line apart from Irony. “It's all right, Director," "I won't corrupt them."

This line is from Chapter 8 of Brave New World and basically the context is people are starting to sense the estrangement from the director (leader of the society) and he has corrupted/brainwashed them all into conforming to his ideas

Hey! From my memory of this text that line is direct dialogue is it not? You can use dialogue as a basic technique, communicates clear ideas to the audience. You could even discuss the capitalisation of the word 'Director,' that title has been manufactured by Huxley for a purpose?

Just a few ideas, could be and probably is more

Hey there! For section one, in the last part of the question, which usually ask you to talk about two texts, can you use techniques for those texts that you already talked about in their individual questions?

You absolutely can! I used to copy and paste analysis word for word. The only thing to think about is ensuring you don't piss the marker off too much. Make sure to introduce additional analysis, so that it doesn't seem like you're 'cheating' too much!
