The nature versus nurture debate concerns the relative importance of an individual’s innate qualities ("nature‚" i.e. nativism‚ or innatism) versus personal experiences ("nurture‚" i.e. empiricism or behaviorism) in determining or causing individual differences in physical and behavioral traits. The phrase "Nature versus nurture" in its modern sense was coined[1][2][3] by the English Victorian polymath Francis Galton in discussion of the influence of heredity and environment on social advancement

“The Tempest is more than romance‚ for its characters exceed the roles of villains and heroes‚ some of them becoming villains and heroes…The Tempest belongs not only to the world of romance‚ but also to the period of colonialism‚ written as it was in the early stages of the European exploration and conquest of the New World” (Mowat and Werstine).

The Tempest: Analyze the moral development of Prospero’s character in the set scene with particular reference to his use and misuse of power. It is clear that Prospero’s character develops significantly throughout the course of the play; it seems that he becomes reconciled with the idea of not controlling everything and so events begin to un-fold before him. It seems that his own morals start to overtake his needs to take physical revenge on his enemies‚ he becomes more sympathetic and humane

Staging of The Tempest It is clear that The Tempest depends for much of its success on a wide range of special effects such as sound‚ lighting‚ and fantastic visions of the natural and supernatural worlds.

Shakespeare’s presentation of magic in The Tempest In my opinion magic and the supernatural is by far the strongest theme in this play. The play is described as Shakespeare’s most magical play and certainly the language is most magical and quotable. The play is mostly based around magic and in particular Prospero’s magic. unlike Shakespeare’s other play Macbeth‚ the outcome of The Tempest is entirely the product of Prospero’s magic powers. Magic in The Tempest is represented in several different forms
