Book Reports / Amusing its readers - Grammar Check for Macbeth Essay [7]

Hi! I have to write one paragraph analyzing a satirical Macbeth parody, and I was hoping someone would do a quick grammar/fluency check on it.

The author's primary purpose in writing "The Macbeth Murder Mystery" was to amuse his readers. By using satire and conceit, the author is jokingly relating the classic tragedy of Macbeth to modern day mysteries. "-At first I suspected Banquo. And then, of course, he was the second person killed. The person you suspect of the first murder should always be the second victim" is an example of how the American woman is using common mysteries as a template of how the events in Macbeth should play out. "-they fled after the first murder. That looks suspicious. Too suspicious. When they flee, they're never guilty. You can count on that" shows how cocky and overconfident the woman is. She assumes that no matter what scenario is, certain events in literature are simply mandatory- they are practically unquestioned principles to her. "Then he comes running downstairs and shouts 'confusion has broke open the Lord's anointed temple' and 'sacrilegious murder has made his masterpiece' and on and on like that. You wouldn't say a lot of stuff like that, offhand, would you- if you had found a body? You wouldn't! 'My God, there's a body in here!' is what an innocent man would say" shows her blatant ignorance of the culture from that era. The fact that people conversed in a much different style at the time seems to have escaped her. The rich, carefully chosen language in the novel was meant to add depth and beauty to the writing, not to be used as a "hint" to some mystery. The conceit strategy that was applied greatly added to the humor and wit of this parody.
