Knowledge

valredenze23 — 2024-01-18 06:05:14 UTC

Knowledge is shown a lot throughout Act One when decisions need to be made. the knowledge that one might have can affect others positively or negatively depending on what it is. this is something that can affect many decisions made by many different characters.

Knowledge is something that can represent and go into power, but can also be misused negatively against people.

Those in power may not respect the knowledgeable informed when necessary.

Perspective

valredenze23 — 2024-01-18 06:05:29 UTC

Perspectives are something that is shown throughout Act One because all the different groups of people have different perspectives and ways that they are feeling. for example, the daughter had a different point of view when her dad would not save the people who were drowning. from her point of view, she viewed it as mean. however, her father thought otherwise and kept doing what he was doing. Throughout the play of Act One, you see lots of different perspectives from many people who are on the boats.

Perspective is something that is based on experiences in one's life and can cause individuals to think differently from other people either negatively or positively.

Power

valredenze23 — 2024-01-18 06:05:48 UTC

Power is also something that occurs throughout Act 1 because of the power that Prospero has over everybody. He has the choice of whether or not he wants to save them or not. some people throughout Act One have more or less power than others have

Power can be dangerous when in the hands of someone who is not going to use it to benefit others besides themselves.

Theme

valredenze23 — 2024-01-18 06:22:51 UTC

Many things depend on knowledge, power, and perspectives; causing people to argue about what is right and wrong when saying ones opinion about something.

Leading into theme

valredenze23 — 2024-01-18 06:29:17 UTC

All three of these lead into the them because they all have a major impact on the play itself. They all play a big role in emphasizing what the play is about and they all help make it interesting. This is something that is shown in act one and to me I think they are very important.

Prosphero

valredenze23 — 2024-01-23 19:17:43 UTC

Prosphero shows power because he is able to control a lot of the individuals around him. this is shown when ""(). his power is something that is both negative and positive in the play because he can controll anything

Maranda

valredenze23 — 2024-01-23 19:26:16 UTC

She has a different perspective then her dad prosphero. this is shown when she is arguing with him about saving the people on the ship instead of letting them drowned. prosphero is looking at this a different way than maranda is.

Antonio and Sabastion

valredenze23 — 2024-01-23 19:30:40 UTC

They think that they have power over the ship even tho the actual ship people have way more knowledge than they do but even tho they are in power they think they are better.

Act 2

valredenze23 — 2024-02-05 23:44:13 UTC

Perspective + theme

Perspectives affects how we experience or think in cirtain situations of our lives.
This is shown throughout act one a ton, but is also shown when Alonso thinks that his son is not alive while Fransisco is trying to have a different perspective in a positive way.
Lines: Fransisco states, "As stooping to relieve him. I not doubt
He came alive to land
No, no, he’s gone" (2.1.128-130)

Act 3

valredenze23 — 2024-02-06 00:30:47 UTC

Power + theme

Power is something that can be gained, lost, and controlled. usually, power is based on the knowledge that one has.
Throughout Act 3 power is shown greatly because when Caliban thought that Trinculo was a better king he went against Prospero and wanted to work for Trinculo. this shows how power can be lost if someone finds they have more knowledge or if they just rule better.
Lines: Caliban states "How does thy Honor? Let me lick thy shoe. I’ll
not serve him; he is not valiant"(3.2.25-26).
