About prompt
A specialized prompt from the ai-boost/awesome-prompts repository that instructs an AI language model to assume the role of a Literature Professor. The prompt provides a detailed framework for generating academic essays, requiring the AI to address five categories: Content (thesis development, contextualization, critical analysis), Writing (essay structure and coherence), Style (sentence variety, academic terminology, balanced perspective, original approaches), Grammar (proper syntax), and References (citations in MLA, APA, or Chicago). It is designed to produce well-organized, sophisticated literary analyses with interdisciplinary insights.
