    That character might not be able to mentally or physically be able to deal with their own power. If this occurs, the character struggles for power over their true self. In the lord of the flies, Ralph has his power forced onto him and is unable to control the power he has. Through this he forgets who he is as a person, his power takes his true personality away. At the start of the novel ‘Ralph shrieked with laughter.’ His mental state deteriorated throughout the book. Removing his once cheery self. ‘I’m frightened. Of us.’ This shows Ralph’s deterioration and struggle for power against himself. It was Golding’s intention to show a deterioration and struggle for ralph to show how immature and cruel children were and how easy it was to lose control over yourself under pressure to withhold power. A similar idea is related to Prospero. Prospero also struggles against his own power. He struggles against the Antonio and his mind-set to get his power back. At the start of the play, he craves revenge. His craving for revenge and power leaves him struggling to keep his own power over his slaves. ‘That island’s mine, by Sycorax my mother, which thou tak’st from me’. This shows evidence that Caliban is turning against Prospero and is evidence that Prospero is losing power and authority over

    Upon Prospero’s arrival, he teaches Caliban language as to make this “savage” more civilized and obedient, however, Caliban uses the language he has learned to “curse” his master and refuse to accept the commands from Prospero, showing his rebellion. Moreover, even though Caliban is under the punishment of “apes that mow and chatter” and “hedgehogs which lie tumbling in [his] barefoot”, which significantly shows that he is far less powerful than Prospero, he is still uncompromised: he is very eager to conduct his “revenge” and “bite [Prospero] to death” because, at his first encounter with Stephano and Trinculo, Caliban immediately suggests that. Though Caliban’s attempt to “destroy [Prospero]” ends up in failure, this endeavor is rebellious. And Caliban’s rebellion against the oppression from “tyrant” reveals his nobility that he is courageous to fight against Prospero, even though Prospero is much more powerful than him. This rebellious and uncompromising character of Caliban in The Tempest sharply differs from the “waned and left” indigenous people in Indian Place-Names.

    All stories within plays, books, movies, and pictures are never finished. However, unfinished doesn’t simply imply they have missing pixels or words. Texts and pictures, actually, as they age, are interpreted by all; yet, the original story intended by the writer is endlessly changing. Directors, actors, and readers use original stories as a baseline for augmentation. Specifically, after studying multiple forms of The Tempest, a play about a magical Prospero who was once duke of Milan and is now banished onto an island with his daughter, continual creation and interpretation are evident in how director Julie Taymor directed her perception of The Tempest in 2010.

    767 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Tempest by William Shakespeare, among other themes, is a play very centered around rivalries, an important one being the one between Prospero and Caliban. As one would naturally expect, the triumphs and failures of the ongoing conflict yield different reactions for the two different characters. The conflict illustrates a dichotomous view of the way in which people respond to failure or defeat. Whereas Caliban responds to defeat instinctively with furious acts of retaliation, Prospero reasons that when those kinds of acts are examined under the scope of logic, they appear to be unlike that of a noble and therefore, should not be undertaken.

    In the play, The Tempest by William Shakespeare, Prospero took control of Caliban and made him his servant. Prospero was able to do this because he viewed Caliban as an uncivilized being; Caliban was portrayed as a beast. Thus, Prospero was able to assume power over Caliban. It can be seen from Prospero’s speech that he thinks that Caliban is inferior to him when Prosper says, “I have used thee, Filth as thou art, with human care […]” (1.2.348-349). Prospero tries to justify enslaving Caliban, but all he really does is place Caliban into a category of bestial and uncivilized and as a result enslaves him.

    The tempest VS Risen A discovery will lead to a transformed or renewed perspective of the world, and as a result will challenge the views and beliefs previously held by an individual. These ideas are echoed in William Shakespeare’s pastoral Romance “The Tempest”, 1611, where the characters are forced to adapt to a new society and way life because of the actions of Prospero, who induces the Tempest. Similar ideas are examined through Kevin Reynolds 2016 film Risen, which focuses on the Roman Tribune Clavius’ discovery of the resurrected Jesus Christ and shows how this unexpected discovery has altered his whole world and presented it in a new and more meaningful fashion.

    Good morning everyone, today I am going to be speaking to you about the concept of discovery, and how it impacts individuals and broader society in a resounding way; with both negative and positive ramifications which vary according to personal, cultural, historical and social contexts. Despite varying outcomes, the process of all discoveries share a common theme of reconsidering what is known and uncovering what is hidden in order to reveal a newfound truth. The process of discovery can be broken down into four stages; the departure from what is known, the significant experiences which characterise the discoveries, a revelation and finally transformation. These stages can be identified in William Shakespeare’s 1611 play, The Tempest, in which

  • Digging Deep into The Tempest

    It makes sense to me to see in this Shakespeare's sense of his own art--both what it can achieve and what it cannot. The theatre--that magical world of poetry, song, illusion, pleasing and threatening apparitions--can, like Prospero's magic, educate us into a better sense of ourselves, into a final acceptance of the world, a state in which we forgive and forget in the interests of the greater human community. The theatre, that is, can reconcile us to the joys of the human community so that we do not destroy our families in a search for righting past evils in a spirit of personal revenge or as crude assertions of our own egos. It can, in a very real sense, help us fully to understand the central Christian commitment to charity, to loving our neighbour as ourselves. The magic here brings about a total reconciliation of all levels of society from sophisticated rulers to semi-human brutes, momentarily holding off Machiavellian deceit, drunken foolishness, and animalistic rebellion--each person, no matter how he has lived, has a place in the magic circle at the end. And no one is asking any awkward questions.

Prospero then thinks Caliban to be ungrateful for all the good things he has done to help him, but there was nothing wrong with the way he was living before Prospero’s arrival.
