Hey guys.
Before you read this, you must know i'm not very good at English, i try and i achieve fairly good marks but it doesn't come natural to me it takes me a while to write an essay and then edit it and stuff, this was all done in like 10 minutes and i was really happy with it. Anyway I was wondering if someone could read over this, give me some feedback and tell me what I'm missing and what to add to it. Its not supposed to be an essay, just like a paragraph or two answering this question/theme:
War of the sexes.
...Tyrants vs. Avengers... which is which?

Within "Cosi Fan Tutte" Nowra's depiction of the men as expressed by Cherry is that they have been casted as the role of "Tyrants". They are hypocrites in the sense that they "...look for fidelity..." in a women but lack fidelity themselves. It is ironic though that the men, Ferrando and Gugillamo are seen as being true to their women which goes against the commonly held ideology that men lack this quality. However this belief is also generalising as it suggests that only men are not true and women's morals hold highly this notion of fidelity. it seems that the title of Tyrant connotes one who does not share this ideal of fidelity. Consequently both the men and the women of cosi, although a few believe in Fidelity, are not true to its concept. Ultimately it can be deduced that neither sex can have the label of "Tyrant" or "Avenger" as they both share in the qualities that exemplify the actions of of them respectively. Whether it be Lewis kissing Julie or Lucy having sex with Nick.


Also i need to write 250 - 500 word paragraph that contrasts/compares 2 character. Using a theme as the basis of my comparison. i need to build it in reference to the narrative devices Nowra uses to achieve and highlight this.
And i was wondering if someone can give me some ideas to write about and just a few points about to include.  :)

Thanks in advance  :laugh:

I decided to write about Love/fidelity and the various interpretations of it.
And the two characters I'm talking about our Julie and Lucy, and their understanding of love.
