Love Throughout the Storm In the Tempest‚ by Shakespeare we see the love of family‚ love of country‚ and personal love dominate The Tempest and inform nearly every significant action. Caliban loves the island‚ Ariel loves natural freedom‚ Prospero loves his daughter‚ Alonso his son‚ and so on. But the traitors Antonio and Sebastian are also defined by love‚ or really the lack thereof. They are in love with power‚ or the potential for it. In this play‚ each player is on a quest for some kind of

Revenge Many comparisons can be seen between Shakespeare’s novel The Tempest and the epic Beowulf. One of the strongest similarities is the idea of revenge. Shakespeare’s novel occurs basically in order for Prospero to have revenge on his enemies from usurping his dukedom. Beowulf’s original monster‚ Grendel‚ starts acting out less due to revenge and more out of pure frustration. His death though‚ causes his mother to act on revenge‚ killing one of Hrothgar’s trusted advisor‚ Aeschere‚ causing

The Other in the Tempest In order to understand the characters in a play‚ we have to be able to distinguish what exactly makes them different. In the case of The Tempest‚ Caliban‚ the sub-human slave is governed largely by his senses‚ making him the animal that he is portrayed to be and Prospero is governed by sound mind‚ making him human.

Prospero in Shakespeare’s "The Tempest" fits the description of a Machiavellian Prince. He is cunning‚ conspires‚ and schemes‚ and has a tremendous amount of power throughout the whole work.

Comparing Power in ‘The Tempest’ and ‘Othello’ Both plays are about the ultimate struggle for power. Power can be shown in many ways such as race‚ gender‚ ‘others’‚ social class‚ and most importantly through use of language. Power can be shown in both plays through the use of ‘otherness’. This can be associated with power as characters such as Othello or Caliban are ‘others’ because they are from ‘elsewhere’. One such character who could be described as an ‘other’ is Othello.

The significance and aptness of the title "The Tempest" is immense. Though not apparent at first‚ the title is skilfully used by the dramatist to enmesh the various themes‚ motifs and subplots in his play into a closely knit unit. The title is not the mere reflection of a storm that characterizes the opening scene; rather‚ its essence lays the foundation that links disparate elements throughout the play. I believe that the tempest is a symbol of the torment and suffering endured by Prospero for

How is Prospero presented in Act 1 of The Tempest? In Act 1 of The Tempest Prospero is presented negatively. He is presented negatively by symbolising excessive power of England in the 17th century and people as a whole. Prospero’s power is represented by his control over Caliban‚ Ariel‚ Ferdinand and aspects of Miranda’s life‚ (her love life). Another negative presentation is that Prospero is resentful and angry. This can be seen from his brother’s betrayal. This makes Prospero’s character more
