My first ever literature essay at St Andrews in 1993:

How well does Дама с собачкой illustrate Chekhov's belief that the artist's task was not to solve problems, but to pose them correctly?

57/80

Tutors' comments:
Although it is not a brilliant literary essay, it is a start and it will gradually get easier. Specifically, you need to stick more closely to the assigned question and not talk about other (irrelevant) matters, e.g. narrative viewpoint.
