“The Tempest is more concerned with reconciliation than with revenge.” Evaluate this view of The Tempest by exploring the action and effects of the play. Revenge tragedy was a highly popular genre during the Jacobean era‚ so understandably Shakespeare would have been heavily influenced by this; one of these examples being Hamlet.
