the tempest - as an imaginative journey (1 Viewer)

[lucinderalla]

could anyone please give me notes about how the tempest relates to an imaginative journey? i have a few ideas but nowhere near enough to write an essay about. thankyou

mainly in 3 ways
through;
Prospero - relationship between power and good leadership, and intellectually being challenged to change his state of mind from revenge to reconciliation.

Theatrical - journey of our common humanity

Shakespeare - speculation about the effects of colonisation and the creation of 'utopian' worlds.

hope that helped.

and we musnt forget that the whole play takes place on a fictional island, which helps relate the text to an imaginative journey. descriptions of the island that are said by caliban can prove the mysterious magical aspects of the island, "the isle is full of noise, sound and sweet airs that bring delight and hurt not" cant remember what act thats in... "such shapes such gestures and such sounds"

hope that was some help
