Knowledge

bridgetshrader — 2025-01-15 20:00:13 UTC

Gaining specific knowledge can make you become "trapped" in situations you don't want to be in despite how much power you have gained.

Perspective

bridgetshrader — 2025-01-15 20:00:31 UTC

Your perspective of a situation is based on your experiences and worldview.

This is seen through Maranda's perspective as she has lived most of her life on the island, away from other people. Her view and perspective of the world is heavily based on her inexperience with the "outside world."

Power

bridgetshrader — 2025-01-15 20:00:41 UTC

How you use your power, doesn't always reflect your good or bad intentions, not only can some positive uses of power be for bad reasons, but also some manipulative uses of power can be for good reasons.

Act 2

bridgetshrader — 2025-01-31 20:03:57 UTC

Topic/Observation: (Power)

Antonio and Sebastian plotted to kill Alonso and take control of his kingdom. This shows how the characters are ruthless and impulsive.

Theme statement: Power and authority is fragile, moreover demonstrating the lengths to which some people will go to test and gain it.

Lines: Antonio states: "'How shall that Claribel Measure us back to Naples? Keep in Tunis And let Sebastian wake.' Say this were death That now hath seized them, why, they were no worse Than now they are."(Shakespeare 3.2.148-149).

Act 3

bridgetshrader — 2025-01-31 20:11:14 UTC

Topic/Observation: (Perspective) Ariel and Caliban have completely different perspectives of being under Prospero's control. Caliban will do anything to leave, Ariel is trying to find a wiser way out.

Theme statement: Your perspective of a person or situation will flip how you handle it, even if the person or situation has a negative impact on you.

Lines: Ariel states, "This will I tell my master"
