Check and changed task: A house that controls who can speak
Check: does Bernarda's prescription about women's work prove that the playwright endorses it? Answer: no. It is a character's statement placed within a dramatic interaction; attribution and the surrounding contrasts are necessary before interpreting the work's position. Changed task: an entirely invented production removes the bells but keeps the opening servants' conversation. What argument must be revised? Answer: any claim about an audible outside presence must be withdrawn for that production. The audience-information argument can survive if the conversation and its order remain. An alteration changes one kind of evidence without erasing every defensible interpretation.
For a paragraph that earns its conclusion, use four moves: locate one specific moment; identify a theatrical or linguistic choice; explain what relation that choice establishes; test the explanation against a competing reading. Avoid a sentence such as 'white always means purity'. A colour does not have one automatic meaning in every work or production. Here a contrast can be argued through its placement alongside other instructions, not through a universal symbol dictionary. Equally, a stage command need not imply that a production literally builds an impenetrable room. Keep the inference proportional to the evidence.
