Magic represented as something bad for the people who are enslaved (good for Prospero), - link to colonialism?

-Parallell between magic being the intellectual people's knowledge/western knowledge (Prospero's magic) - his magic comes from books. If one destroys this, one destroys the magic.
- Caliban's magic being the natives' knowledge, knowledge of nature etc.

The Island inhabits its own magic that the humans just wants to exploit and control.

The Island is described as uninhabited, but Caliban, Ariel and the spirits already live there (refers to how the colonizers viewed new and discovered lands as theirs for the taking and non-civilized).

The Island isolates the characters from the rest of the world - their meeting and conflict is inevitable. People act without the constraints of civilization.

The Island symbols a new beginning for the characters (redemption) - Act 2 Scene 1, lines 140-163

The Island is portrayed as a mystery containing magic and illusions (it appears in different ways to each of the characters) - Act 3 scene 2, lines 128-136 (Caliban describing the mystery of the island)

The subplot brings comic relief to the play, making the play less dramatic and serious. Portraying the characters as drunk and unaware makes the play more amusing

Prospero uses everyone as pieces in his game, just like chess. The last scene displays Ferdinand and Miranda playing chess when Prospero draws aside a curtain (scene 5.1. 172)

Caliban to Prospero: 'You taught me language, and my profit on't Is I know how to curse.'
- language as power (prevent 'rebellion', colonialism)
- benefit to Caliban, not foreseen by Prospero

1.2, 368-370
Prospero to Caliban: ' What I command, I'll rack thee with old cramps, Fill all thy bones with aches, make thee roar, That beasts shall tremble at thy din.'
- Prospero display of power over Caliban (slave) through language

2.1, 142-163
Gonzalo's speech about the Commonwealth.
- negative language = negative focus (what the Commonwealth will NOT be rather than what it will be)
- alliteration ('no', 'none', etc.)

4.1, 146-163
Prospero's monologue
- Metatheatricality (the whole monologue is an analogy for a play)
- reminds the audience that they are watching a play

Shakespeare in general:
- poetic language
