Despite Shakespeare’s tendency to characterize virtue through outward beauty‚ in The Tempest he deftly shows us nobility is not always inherent and the beast in all has hope of being tamed. There is danger in a lack of balance between nobility and in-bred‚ base nature. On the surface‚ Caliban is the ultimate representation of vile nature‚ brutal‚ selfish and untamed‚ and Prospero represents nobility. Gonzalo unwittingly echoes the moral lesson of the play and hints at the two characters most

In The Tempest‚ Sebastian is known as the brother of the King of Naples‚ Alonso. Throughout the play‚ Shakespeare uses several techniques to reveal this character in the story. Here‚ I will only be discussing three of those techniques: what Sebastian does‚ the reaction of others to Sebastian‚ and what Sebastian says.

River Music by Terry Tempest Williams was the selection I found to be my favorite. River Music is solely about the Colorado River and every single aspect about it. The author looks way beyond the image of the river‚ she sees and thinks about the river all the time. This selection spoke to me as I read it for several reasons. First‚ the author exclusively talks about the river. Every detail about something other than the river relates back to the river in one way or another as well. The color‚ current
