How do you write the body of an essay? 
Assertion - a statement or an idea that will prove our thesis if we can show it to be true in the play
Explain the assertion, the logic of it and make sure you’ve made it clear. (definition)
Illustrate the way your assertion is active in the play - use the reference (quotation)
Explain HOW the reference links to your assertion. (closest to your opinion - analysis)
Connection back to thesis through the logic and reasoning. (demonstrate via comparison and linkage to the original thesis)

(all of this might require some definitions, external research, deeper explanation. )
