Theme: It can be harder to live with power, because people will look up to those higher then themselves; however, there are instances where people will try to take advantage of it.

Theme: It is impossible to determine if one is right or wrong, you need to see the whole picture because you cannot understand a situation without doing so.

Theme: Helpful knowledge doesn't come to those who want it, it comes to those who search for it.

Explaniation: In The Tempest, Prospero is a powerful person because he searches for knowledge in his library. His brother and father did not have the same care for knowledge so when they were on the island they were powerless.

Power: Power can lead pepople to authoriaty, but only a good leader to maintain it. This is seen when Caliban states,"'That’s a brave god and bears celestial liquor. I will kneel to him"'(Shakespeare 2.2.121-2). Caliban gives Stephano power by pledging himself; however, Stephano does not use this power in a way where he can maintain it. He jokes with Trinculo and makes Caliban do useless tasks like cleaning his shoe. This can be seen in the modern day with the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau. He had power over Canada's people but didn't use it in a would have fixed many of their problems. Due to this issue, he had to resign his power to someone else. I predict that Stephano will also lose his power, as he is not a very good leader.

Perspective: Being a good leader means taking account of all sides of a situation, and choosing the one that benefits everyone even if a choice negatively affects them. Gonzolo demonstrates this theme when only he doesn't encounter the Harpy: "You are three men of sin... If you could hurt, Your swords are now too massy for your strengths (Shakespeare 3.3.75-85). Before this event, Gonzolo tries his best to pacify the king when he thinks about his kids and keeps a positive perspective in mind, making him a good leader. He looks at a situation and makes a choice to help others.
