Indeed, the development of the individual self is one side of the human experience. But to reject conformity offhand is to forfeit the other side of that experience the individuals participation in the community.

From beginning to end the play-write gives prominence to the problems of dominion, freedom, political failure and of repetition.

Although this does put him in an ideal position to lead, Prospero is brought to a point where he develops control over himself, rather than being presented as such a ...
