When Sebastian, Gonzalo, Antonio, Alonso, and others initially find themselves stranded on the island, Gonzalo tries to bring up the king's spirits, despite them not being able to find Prince Ferdinand. He makes good points that they were lucky to survive such a catastrophe and that being stuck on an island is better than being dead. Obviously, Alonso is not comforted by this without knowing whether or not his on was as lucky. Instead of allowing him to comfort the king in peace, Sebastian and Antonio continue to make a mockery of his optimism, and even mention that Ferdinand would not be in danger if Alonso had not married his daughter to an African. This short video is my best interpretation of how King Alonso probably felt while being berated with Gonzalo's blind optimism and the never ending wise cracks from the comedic duo. Even in the face of the teacher's clear frustration, the students somehow still find a way to laugh at the situation, as Sebastian and Antonio do throughout the play.

While trying to comfort the king, Gonzalo attempts to distract him from the situation at hand by fantasizing about the utopia he would build if he were the ruler of this island. He says that in his society everyone would be equal, there would be no need for anyone to work because food would grow on its own, and there would be no money or ownership of land. This is all reminiscent of the description of the Garden of Eden, as well as the Pastoral Scene from Thomas Cole's "Course of Empire" series. In both, the simplicity of human life creates a sense of purity and gratitude for what one has, instead of everyone's lives being affected by one another's greed for wealth, power, and prestige. These ideas set him clearly apart from the rest of the group of European nobility that was raised to believe that society needs a rigid social hierarchy to survive and that they deserve to be at the top of that hierarchy. Despite these progressive ideas of a society without social statuses, Gonzalo still manages to make himself the king of this imaginary kingdom.

This scene demonstrates the colonial beliefs of European imperialists that many members of the shipwreck brought with them to the island, especially Sebastian and Antonio. First, no one is even able to imagine a society in which everyone is equal, because they were born into privilege and taught that they were actually superior to other Europeans, and especially superior to everyone else. This meme is meant to to be a humorous take on the group's imperial ideology as well as the greed for power that leads Sebastian and Antonio to plot to kill the king.

When the king and the rest of the group fall asleep under Ariel's spell, Sebastian and Antonio immediately plot the murder of Sebastian's brother, King Alonso. Antonio encourages Sebastian by telling him how great a decision it was to betray Prospero to take his title as Duke. I chose this image because the duo remind me of cavemen in suits, while plotting this assassination. They have the status and clothes of noblemen but are not able to plan and carry out their mission quickly enough, and also have a terrible excuse prepared when Gonzalo wakes and sees them with their

This GIF is how imagine Antonio and Sebastian felt when they were caught with their swords drawn over the sleeping King Alonso.
