My Essay
For my essay, I chose the topic of whether or not Shakespeare portrayed men as stronger than women in A Midsummer Night's Dream. I currently have three examples in my essay, and I was wondering if you thought that this was enough including the direct examples from the text. I was also wondering about a possible conclusion and how I could bring my essay to a close. My last question is how I should add figurative language into my essay without it stretching the literal meaning too far, or without it being out of place, since so far my essay is very "straight from the book." If you could just help me with at least one of these questions, I would greatly appreciate it, because this has been my hardest essay yet and I would really like to do well.

You could take your strongest example, strengthen it further with some figurative language, and use it as your conclusion. If your essay is mostly "straight out of the book" and you are willing to change that, you should have plenty of opportunities to add figurative language without worrying about obscuring your intended meaning.
