Article Evaluation

I found that "The Spanish Tragedy's" page was rather insightful and neutral. The author or authors placed heavy emphasis on the accuracy of information surrounding the play's production and creation. Unfortunately, as for the plot description, I think the article is lacking. Granted, it is meant to be a summary, but it also leaves out several important details. The most glaring error in this article is the description following Horatio's death. The author does not delve into the intricacy of emotion that has taken over Hieronimo. Rather, it seems that they rushed through the build up of emotional tension to get to the point of resolution.

The article discussing "The Shoemaker's Holiday," however, was not as enticing. The greatest lack in their writing was the character descriptions. Not only are the descriptions weak, but they also have left out several characters from these descriptions. For instance, the article has no mention of Firk or Hammon in the "Major Characters" subheading. While these characters are not as important in comparison to entities such as Rowland or Simon Eyre, they should have a description. Additionally, the plot synopsis seems to be weakly written. The language is incredibly simple and does not describe fully the actions and ways in which the characters interact. Rather, it seems that they are merely scratching the surface with information that should be included. Additionally, I think a greater emphasis should be made surrounding the history of the play. The article for "The Spanish Tragedy" highlights the historical significance and production of the play. Meanwhile, the article for "The Shoemaker's Holiday" seems to only be a minor description of a larger piece.
