    How Does the Relationship between Prospero and Ariel Change During The Tempest The tempest is the last play Shakespeare wrote. The play is simply about a man who was taken away from his dukedom‚ and was cast on an island. Of course this man is Prospero who has magical powers.

All though the tempest is an unusually short play by Elizabethan standards‚ yet it continually

    The Tempest‚ a theatrical piece by William Shakespeare‚ was made in the age of expansion. This is evident in the play‚ as there are many instances in which colonization is apparent. Prospero embodies the role of “the colonizer” in the Tempest because of his abuseful‚ controlling and demeaning relationship with the non-European inhabitant of the island he was exiled to.

The Victorian woman had a restricted‚ narrow existence solely as the ‘angel of the house’‚ the wife and nurturer.

In this essay I wish to discuss the character of ariel‚ who has received less attention than either Caliban or Prospero. If The Tempest is an allegory then each of its characters should fulfil some representative function. Prospero is generally associated with the
