Themes and Rhetorical Emphases THE TEMPEST

Right to Rule (Colonization) This play is a story of coup de tats Antonio and Alonso overthrow Prospero Prospero overthrows Caliban Antonio and Sebastian plot to depose Alonso Stephano wants to usurp Prospero's position Prospero dethrones his brother and regains his dukedom

Within this theme is embedded certain political and philosophical questions? Do any people have the intrinsic right to rule another people? Is colonization moral? If so, under what circumstances? What are the qualities of a legitimate government? Can there be an ideal government or does it depend on the situation and people?

What makes a human human? This is a form of Shakespeare’s old favorite… appearance v. reality. Is Caliban a human or a beast? Shakespeare does not answer this question. He shows the reader both sides of the debate in order to force us to consider the question. Is being human a biological issue or a behavioral issue? Is there such a thing as race or are we all the same?

In addition to this twisted version of appearance v. reality, we also get the traditional version… Things are not always what they seem. Truths can be misperceived, misrepresents and misunderstood. Ferdinand is not really dead. Prospero doesn’t really hate Ferdinand Alonso’s group did not come to the island per chance Gonzalo believes Stephano and Trinculo’s excuse when he wakes and finds them with their swords drawn.

There are multiple magical mirages Like what? People’s perception of Caliban

The motifs help support these themes Magic Journeys(Mowat) Games and Mazes

What is the rhetorical function of including the se themes? If rhetoric is meant to persuade or make a point, what would the inclusion of these themes persuade the viewer to think about? Does it relate to race? Does it relate to politics? Does it matter what Shakespeare’s intention was or does it only matter what the text conveys?
