Yes the play consists of a series of rebellion, treacheries, mutinies and conspiracies against authority but the overall view of the dramatic action is much more complex.

Stephano And Trinculo Example Of Caliban Prospero
1,179 wordsThe Tempest is not a pure fantasy tale, but a purposeful allegory. The characters in the play are all representative of characters found in the bible. The first, and perhaps most persuasive, arguement would be Prospero symbolizing God. Prospero is seen to be a representative of God for several reasons. First, he is obviously in control of the actions and has an omnipotent quality. This has been demonstrated by several scenes throughout the play. Consider the power that Prospero possesses, as sho...

Use Of Contrast In Act I The Tempest

One good example was how some characters in the first act had their counterparts. Ariel had Caliban, and Gonzalo had Ferdinand.

As I was reading the section of the play where Caliban takes Stephano as his master I began to think about how he should be wiser by now. As is Caliban begs a drunken Stephano to be...
