"Why must we continue to run?" Asked Sycorax
"You know why" replied Caliban
"No, I don't"
"You should. I've explained it too many times now. If we are touched by a mortal, they will see our story, and they will know we are not normal, and we will be killed."
"But why? We are not evil, for we are guardians, sent to protect one mortal after the other."
"They don't understand that, Sycorax. We will be killed because our power is considered as witchery, and we will be burned."
Just then Caliban turned into his original form, a human, and laid down since there wasn't much room in the dark and cold crawl space of Camillo Junior High. Sycorax did the same but, leaned partially against the wall.

"That's cool! My teacher recommended it to me. Anyway stay here, and I'll go get my guinea's old travel case" She left and they waited, and they waited, and they waited. It had become as dark as the other side of the moon at this point, with the exception of a few distant street lights. The night carried a slight chill that left them shivering. Finally Athena returned carrying a small case and a flashlight, riding her bike.
"Sorry about that guys, my Nana made me do some chores" She placed the carrier on the ground, waited for them to climb in, zipped it up and took off. Once they reached a stop they where in front of a house that had good care taken of it, it had perfect landscaping, and clean architecture.
"Normally you would have to worry about Nana, but she went to the store"
They went inside to a perfectly spotless inside, and to an even cleaner room. There was a cage in a corner that they where placed in, much cleaner and larger than their old one. And for the next year they where fed, talked to, taken great care of. But Athena and her grandmother where in a car accident and placed in a hospital during their coma. Two weeks passed of not eating and they where too weak to shape-shift, leaving them for a cruel and slow death.
With the semester coming to an end, many students are excited. This especially includes those who will be graduating soon. However, graduation can be seen as a bittersweet moment. On one hand, the graduates enter into a new chapter in their lives. On the other hand, they may lose communication with some of their friends. Unfortunately, this is a natural aspect of each person’s life. Everyone will experience some kind of loss in their life, whether it is person or an object. In The Tempest, Shakespeare discusses the topic of loss. While this theme is not talked about much compared to other themes in the play, it is very important since it is a theme that is included in the 1956 movie adaptation Forbidden Planet. While both works illustrate the ways people deals a loss, the later work demonstrates how the advancement in the world have affected the way modern society

Psychoanalytic Analysis of Caliban and Trinculo of The Tempest. From a psychoanalytic perspective, both Caliban and Trinculo in Shakespeare’s The Tempest are interesting characters. Caliban is very sexual and bitter, while Trinculo is at odds with everything: his situation of being washed ashore and wrongly accused of saying things when he did not utter a word, as well as Caliban’s worship of an unkingly man, his drunken friend Stephano.
"I'm sure that would be nice. For you. But suffering in the soul yard is much more effective." He waved the two night Raiders beside him wave, motioning that Suprina was his. Reluctantly, the two troops marched off, only to be stabbed in the heart and beaten to death by children.
One notable difference between William Shakespeare’s The Tempest and Julie Taymor’s film version of the play is the altered scenes that made quite a difference between the play and the movie version. This difference has the effects of creating a different point of view by altering the scenes affected the movie and how Taymor felt was necessary by either by keeping or deleting certain parts from the play. I use “Altered Scene” in the way of how Julia Taymor recreates her own point of view for the movie and the direction she took in order to make the audience can relate to the modern day film. I am analyzing the way that the altered scenes changes to make a strong impression on the audiences different from the play. This paper will demonstrate
The Reality of a Utopian Ending in The Tempest The idea of creating a utopia on an island in the Mediterranean is an idea that recurs throughout William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. When Prospero, a usurped duke, uses his magic to conjure up a storm, a boat full of Italian royalty is shipwrecked on an island. The hierarchy that once existed disintegrates quickly in the chaos of the shipwreck, and the reader sees the characters start to vocalize how they imagine their perfect world. However, throughout the play and in its humorous conclusion, the reader sees that the realization of a utopia of any sort is an unrealistic expectation due to the characters tumultuous relationships and histories.
It is in Caliban’s nature to accept a little and work as a slave. He does not want to possess people as his servant or take advantage of his work as Ferdinand. Caliban does not want to assassinate Prospero, for the purpose of winning the throne of Prospero or owning his daughter, but he just to move him from one master to another. The only freedom in his slavery is he chooses his master. Caliban says: “ 'Ban, 'Ban, Ca-caliban / Has a new master. Get a new man” (2.2.174-75). He does not have a hope for better as Ferdinand. He tells Stephano “Ay, lord. She will become thy bed, I warrant. / And bring thee forth brave brood” (3.2.101-02). He wants his new master (Stephano) enjoy his life and marry Miranda. Caliban, as the half beast, follows his sexual desire as Prospero’s says: “to violate / the honor of my child” (1.2.350). Caliban sexual desire “estranges him from his foster father, Prospero, and causes him to be imprisoned in the rock. When a more appropriate suitor appears in the person of Ferdinand, Prince of Naples, Prospero will be sure to stress the importance of chastity before marriage” (Garber

“If it saves my family and no harm will come to them, then I will do it. But I have to ask a question. Did you kill my parents just to get my attention and to let me know that you are stronger and more powerful than me.”
Zeus smiles, “Yes. Have them believe in you first, because if they believe in you, they will believe in me.”
The Opening and Closing Scenes in Shakespeare's Tempest. The opening and closing scenes in William Shakespeare's The Tempest are crucial to the significance of the play as a whole. Through the deconstruction of the court system in the tumultuous opening scene, and its eventual superior reconstruction in the closing scene, Shakespeare is able to better develop and display inherent character traits in the major roles. Shakespeare immediately throws the audience into a court that is not unified and strictly divided by political strife, as were the courts of his day.
Throughout history, the struggle for power has led mankind to commit unspeakable acts of violence in order to obtain or maintain dominion over others. Imprisonment, torture and murder are all tools tyrants such as Caligula of Rome, Ivan IV of Russia and Pol Pot of Cambodia used to subject their will on others. At the most basic level these are all stories of men obsessed with power. The Tempest, by William Shakespeare is another such story that shows just how far a person will go to gain control and power over others. The character relationship between Prospero and his slaves, Ariel and Caliban, provides insight into the overall theme of the story which is the struggle between those who have power and those that are envious of that power and will stop at nothing to take it from themselves.
