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.

This is evident because he changes the way Caliban acts when he first arrives to the island and treats him like he is lesser than

Three Important Scenes The three most important scenes in my opinion were life changing not only to Francis but to his family also. The first scene is the death of baby Margaret. Francis’ parents get sad and the two cousins of Angela step in and send them away to Ireland to suffer even more.
