Knowledge

msisabellemcdaniel — 2025-01-17 03:36:44 UTC

The Topic "knowledge" helps develop the theme by introducing multiple different classes with different standards of knowledge. EX: the kings, sailors, and butlers. The theme of knowledge can also be shown by how the power shifts when knowledge overcomes status.

Theme: Knowledge can become the shifting point of a society, despite those who choose to be ignorant.

Power

msisabellemcdaniel — 2025-01-17 03:42:14 UTC

The theme is introduced to power by showing the charecter relationship dynamics with:

1. Prospero, his daughter, and his servants. And 2. The king, his butler, and his enemies.

The power shifts in Act 1 are directly correlated with the people with knowledge, IE. the mariners & Prospero.

Theme: Relationship dynamics are critical to the cohesiveness of a story because power has a natural advantage over the powerless and some will use it accordingly.

Perspective

msisabellemcdaniel — 2025-01-17 03:59:23 UTC

The Topic Perspective becomes incorporated into the theme by introducing complex characters/character relationships. By showing how the relationship dynamics work, we understand multiple different perspectives,especially in between the social classes. EX: Prospero, Ariel, Miranda & Alonso, ferdinand, Gonzolo

Theme: Perspective controls the moral direction of a story, despite the change is values in the eye of the beholder.

Act 2-Power

msisabellemcdaniel — 2025-02-05 05:04:14 UTC

Theme:

Power is something good and valuable, despite those who have it don't abuse ( Ill-use) it, and those who don't would kill for it.

In Act 2, Scene 1, Antonio convinces Sebastion to help him usurp the king and kill him, becoming the new king of Naples. The urge to obtain power drives Sebastion to agree and plot to kill his own brother, while at the same time, Antonio is being manipulated by the same greed and is being driven by the guarantee of power. While Antonio is manipulating Sebastion into killing Alonzo, he says, " Shall be my precedent: as thou got’st Milan/ I’ll come by Naples. Draw thy sword. One stroke /Shall free thee from the tribute which thou payest, /And I the King shall love thee (Shakespeare 2.1.333-336).

Act 3- Knowledge

msisabellemcdaniel — 2025-02-05 05:40:11 UTC

Theme:

Knowledge, when shared, can overcome (get/bring under control) power and can also be a way to obtain power or social status, even when the knowledge comes from the person least in power.

Caliban uses his knowledge to obtain connections and a means to escape being Prospero's slave. Caliban's extensive knowledge of the land helped Prospero, and now he uses weaponized discretion to threaten Trinculo: "I do beseech thy Greatness, give him blows/ And take his bottle from him. When that’s gone/He shall drink naught but brine, for I’ll not show him/ Where the quick freshes are (Shakespeare 3.2.71-71).
