But if he became king of the island‚ he wouldn’t rule at all. The Tempest is the definition of a "Utopia". For different characters this "utopia" means different things. Though all of the characters have a different image of “utopia”‚ Gonzalo and Prospero both think of the island as their “utopia” they have an almost similar

Brague observes that in ancient and medieval times‚ the simple question‚ “What is man?” was seldom thought about. Contemplating this question requires one to believe they are a self-determining being. In ancient and medieval times‚ people did not think about who they were or if they could change.

Noble argues that the song and music in Twelfth Night are “not the indispensable factors in the presentment of the main theme [...] as have the lyrics in The Tempest” (13) and yet in this comparison the function of Feste and Ariel’s songs are similarly influential on the narrative.
