The Tempest

This thing of darkness…

…I achnowledge mine

The rarer action is

in virtue than vengance

I do forgive

thy rarest fault

Doron

the action of the play is prospero’s discovery of an ethical forgiveness

Then to all elements

be free and fare fare well

Thou shall be free

as mountains and winds

This Islands

mine by sycorax my mother

let your indulgence

set me free

Devlan

Ariel is prosepros servant and Caliban is his necessary slave

what i command

I rack thee with old cramps

and these, mine enemies

are all knit up in their distractions

how beauteous

mankind is

thought

is free

you taught me language

and my profit, on’t is, i know how to curse

if by your art

my dearest father, you have put the wild water in this roar, allay them

martin butler

prospero is reliant on his magical powers conveying his authority is dependent on magical attributes.

prospero is an anologue of God

hell is empty

because all the devils are here

johnsons

the sole agent of prosepros magic- ariel

orgel

beleived that repentance is a largely unachievable goal.

i am your wife

if you will marry me

I am the villian here

I need to break free from all those spirits

I was born

a devil

I am bound to obey him

i’d rather be free

Harold Bloom

prospero’s power over nature reflects his own psychological state.
