possibilities are opened up to women because life does not revolve around the brothership of man. Men‚ however‚ still think that they are superior and have power over women‚ and they do not like women thinking for themselves. In Shakespeare’s The Tempest‚ Prospero wants to have power over his daughter Miranda‚ but realizes that he can no longer dictate what Miranda thinks and feels by simply telling her to think and feel a certain way. By using magic‚ he feels like he can control her completely‚ but

King Lear If I were to stage a performance of King Lear‚ I would attempt to cultivates more sympathy for the unruly royal father. When I first read this play‚ I judged King Lear harshly for making one foolish mistake after another. I viewed his treatment of Regan‚ and Goneril as sufficient evidence for his eviction. King Lear was neither intelligent or moral. He was simply an outdated‚ foolish‚ and hostile old man. However‚ after digesting the play I have found the folly of my ways. Since the

In William Shakespeare’s the Tempest‚ many are left to wonder what the ideal mode of rule is‚ and which character has the ideal concept of how to rule properly. Often‚ the characters’ convictions are based on their view of the nature of men and the essence of the material world‚ and they behave in accordance with their convictions. Prospero believes that it is necessary for him to control nature‚ and redirect the vices of the people around him‚ while Gonzalo believes that nature should rule‚ and

In Act V of The Tempest‚ Prospero begins to speak about giving up his beloved magic. He recounts the acts he was able to perform with magic fondly saying‚ “I have bedinn’d the noontide sun‚ call’d forth the mutinous winds‚ and ‘twixt the green sea and the azured vault.” (lines 10-11) Prospero refers to his magic gratefully calling it a “potent art” in line 18. Magic allowed Prospero to perform many great acts and allowed him to confront those who wronged him in years past. However‚ Prospero makes

Garnering Sympathy for Criminal Characters Today‚ most individuals are used to the modern Ratings system and enjoy very little censorship in movies. However‚ it did not always used to be this way. Starting in the 1930’s‚ movies were required to follow a strict set of rules and morals called the Motion Picture Production Code. When the Production Code was abandoned in the 1970’s‚ directors gained more freedom than ever when making movies ("Hollywood Censored: The Production Code."). One film that

Prospero’s Plottings After years of writing plays of history‚ tragedy‚ grand comedy and dramatic romance‚ William Shakespeare emerged from his darker writing of the past into the lighter‚ more peaceful style of his play "The Tempest." This was Shakespeare’s last complete play‚ and‚ just as he bid farewell to the art he had so mastered‚ his principal character Prospero departs from his artful magic on the island he omnisciently controls. While Prospero’s early actions against his foes echo

Empathy and Sympathy Empathy is the ability to re-create another person’s perspective‚ or trying to get a sense of that person with that problem and with those emotions. While empathy and sympathy are two closely related concepts‚ I believe that the slight difference between them can be found in the idea of “identification”. For‚ while sympathy says‚ “I understand how you feel and show compassion towards you‚” empathy goes a step further and says‚ “I feel what you feel”. A simple way to remember

Prospero in Shakespeare’s "The Tempest" fits the description of a Machiavellian Prince. He is cunning‚ conspires‚ and schemes‚ and has a tremendous amount of power throughout the whole work. Prospero’s Magical powers give a fairytale-like quality to the work‚ which he uses to his advantage to become the most powerful character in the work‚ controlling the destiny of all the characters in the play. He was unrightfully overthrown as the Duke of Milan by his also scheming Machiavellian

In the poem‚ “Sympathy”‚ the author uses a slightly abbreviated version of the first line at the end of each stanza to show repetition and purpose. For example‚ in the last stanza the author says “I know why the caged bird sings‚ ah me” and ends with “I know why the caged bird sings” to show that the author not only understands why the bird does what he does but also that the author resonates with the bird emotionally (Lines 15‚ 21). In this instance‚ the author is describing the birds cries for
