In this essay I will be arguing that reader-response criticism is the best way to interpret William Shakespeare’s The Tempest by showing that we create the monsters.

“I...I….he had a cataract‚” I spoke as I heard a faint noise. A familiar noise. A noise that had hardly disappeared. The old man’s heartbeat.
