  1. The Tempest: Act Three

  2. What makes Ferdinand’s work bearable? • What does Miranda mean when she says, “I do not know one of my sex; no woman’s face remember, save, from my glass?” • After their first full conversation, what agreement do Miranda and Ferdinand reach? • What does Caliban ask of Stephano when Trinculo mocks him? • What makes Stephano punch Trinculo? • What does Caliban say gives Prospero his power? • Aside from control of the island, what does Caliban promise Stephano as a prize for killing Prospero? • Where do Alonso, Gonzalo, Antonio and Sebastian find food in Act III, Scene 3? • What does Ariel remind the trio of as they attempt to eat their meal? • What action does Alonso now believe is the cause of the death of his son?

  3. Hiding the Subversion • Throughout literature authors have hid controversial subjects among metaphorical language • Songs • Slang • Gonzalo’s Utopia • Prospero defiance of the king, ending in the end

  4. Shakespearean Compilation • As this is the last play Shakespeare wrote on his own, it seems to be a compilation of all of his plays • A short form of Romeo and Juliet • The political intrigue of Macbeth • The use of magic and spirits of Midsummer Night’s Dream • The use of the fool and drunkard as in King Lear and Hamlet

  5. Short Answer • What does Caliban symbolize in the story and how do he fit into a larger understanding of the play as a whole? Use text evidence to back up your assertion. In addition, tie in your claim to one of the interpretations of the story. • Prospero is Shakespeare’s counterpoint in the story, showing the craftmanship of the artist. Caliban represents the biological imperative, or the bodily desires, that Prospero has neglected for so long. • Caliban is a representation of the natives as that Europeans encounter on their journeys around the globe, who initially amazed by the superiority of the guest but is later enslaved.

  6. Prospero’s Books

  7. The Use of Illusion • Prospero the magician uses illusion to entrap the dangerous trios
