However‚ other monsters appear at the end of the play‚ like the strange shapes that bring in the banquet and when Ariel appears as the harpy.

As Robert Lowell states in the forward of Ariel‚ “This poetry and life are not a career; they tell that a life‚ even when disciplined‚ is simply not worth it” (xv). “A Birthday Present”`‚ written by Plath in September of 1962 and hauntingly recorded in her own voice on audio in October of that same year‚ is just one of the many poems that comprise the collection titled Ariel.

"Music and The Tempest" The vital center of The Tempest is its music. Pervading and informing the action of the play‚ music is always sounding‚ always affecting and shaping the lives of the characters. Often directionless and ambiguous in its meaning‚ the music of The Tempest provides a context for Prospero’s magical machinations and becomes‚ through the course of the play‚ a powerfully evocative symbol of this magic. In The Tempest music is the medium through which order emerges from chaos; it
