These are the introductory sentences for my essay. It doesn't flow off my tongue - how can I improve it?

Any play is confined to a certain place, be it literally or figuratively. It is in this confinement where the story will unfold and the characters interact.

The word 'confined' must be in there. Here is the question that must be answered: ""Based on the discussion of the idea of confinement in Chapter Four of Introduction to English Literary Studies (IELS), write an essay of at least five paragraphs in which you discuss how the confinement of time and space enables the audience or reader to see more deeply into the nature of Elsa’s character during her visit to Miss Helen. You must make references to relevant aspects of the play to support your answer.

  • Are the tenses correct? Is the grammar use correct? How does it flow from your tongue?

  • To me It doesn't! Why confined? Why be it? Why interact?

  • "Any play literally or figuratively is tied to a certain place where the story unfolds and the characters interact". I don't have a clue what you mean by saying interact.

Based on SovereignSun's comment, you could also write

"Any play literally or figuratively is tied to a certain place where the story unfolds and the characters interact. This attribute is called confitement."

I posted an answer as I cannot comment here.
