You will nevertheless need to ensure a balance between examples and discussion, without either one of these predominating. Do not waste your word count on unnecessary plot summaries. Similarly, you don\u2019t need to include long summaries of any articles or essays you refer to, or very lengthy quotations from them. You may include visual images if they are relevant.
