Theme:

Humility can be the greatest source of power.

Power can be good if it is used properly, yet it can also have negative effects if it is abused.

Anyone can have power, yet those who have the most knowledge have the most power.

Power can come from various sources, yet those with the most knowledge control their power.

How can it be used for good?

help others

calm the chaos

How can it be used for evil?

Greed

Knowledge comes from many sources, yet humility is the greatest one

Knowledge can be found in unexpected places

Knowledge is an inner trait that can be hard to identify outwardly.

Too much perspective can ruin someones character, while too little perspective can mislead and blind them.

# data[].attributes.body
Prospero exemplifies too much perspective ruining someone's character while Miranda exemplifies too little perspective blinding someone. Prospero has gone through a lot because his brother betrayed him, he got kicked out of his home and is now by himself with his daughter on an island. This has led to him asking Ariel to get revenge for himself by shipwrecking his brother and those on the ship with him. On the other hand, Miranda is blind to the truth because she has only ever known her father and Caliban. This causes her to trust too easily and her father says, "Speak not you for him" when she tries to defend Ferdinand whom she just met (Shakespeare 1.2.556). Miranda and Prospero exemplify that there are two extremes to perspective and they can caution people to not let it get in the way of decisions.

The boatswain and Antonio show that knowledge is a source of power. The boatswain has lots of knowledge about sailing and has more power during the shipwreck. He is making commands that in any other situation would have been taboo to tell Anotonio and the other noblemen, but in this situation, he has more power than them. Antonio does not like this so he tries to regain his power by insulting the boatswain and calling him "you whoreson, insolent / noisemaker" (Shakespeare 1.1.44-45). The boatswain is the most powerful during the shipwreck because he has more knowledge about the situation.

When people are desperate, they will do anything to get into a seemingly better situation, even if that situation is not actually better

Desperation can cloud people's judgment of who to trust.

When someone who holds less power is more knowledgeable, the roles reverse, yet this may not always be good or bad.

# data[].attributes.body
Power can cloud peoples judgement.

When focusing on bad perspective, people let their negativity cloud their judgement on what is right

Negative thoughts can lead to poor judgement in how to use power

When 1 person has a corrupt perspective and the other one is innocent, the corrupt one can corrupt the innocent one.

As someone who has great knowledge, they have great influence and power over those with less knowledge.

When power is on the line, people who are desperate for that power lose something else that is equally important: their integrity.

When Alonso and Gonzolo fall asleep, Antonio sees an opportunity to get the power he wants. He convinces Sebastian of the same thing, and together, they plot to kill King Alonso. Sebastian says, "Draw thy sword. One stroke / Shall free thee from the tribute which thou payest, / And I the King shall love thee" (Shakespeare 2.1.334-336).

People with a strong perspective have complete control over those with a weak and innocent perspective, yet they may not always choose to do good with this power.

Although Prospero may not realize it, he has greatly influenced Caliban. After years of mistreating Caliban whenever he messes up, Caliban knows no better, so when he is with Trinculo and Stephano, his immediate response is to beat Trinculo up for being annoying. An interaction between Stephano, Trinculo, and Caliban reinforces this idea:

STEPHANO. Stand further off.

CALIBAN. Beat him enough. After a little time

I’ll beat him too.

STEPHANO. Stand farther. (Shakespeare 3.2.91-94)

Stephano doesn't deem Trinculo interrupting them necessary of a punishment as harsh as beating him up, but Caliban does because that is what happens to everyone he has seen who is rude like that.
