Join Mitchel Kawash, Will McKay, Jen Greenwald and Ariana Karp as we discuss Act III of The Tempest!
- The groups which were established in the first and second acts continue in the third act - Miranda and Ferdinand, Caliban, Stephano and Trinculo and the nobles with Ariel and Prospero flitting in and out of the scenes
- Miranda proposes the marriage - aligning her with other Shakespearean heroines like Rosalind and Juliet
- Miranda being directly disobedient for the first time in the scene
- Miranda’s innocence coming from ignorance as opposed to status and breeding
- The clowns scene - the high level of drunkeness!
- Caliban and Ariel have the agendas in 3.2
- Is Ariel distinctive from the magic of the island? or Is Ariel the magic of the island?
- Is Ariel appearing as the Harpy Prospero’s ultimate plan for Alonso, Antonio and Sebastian?
- Is Prospero’s pursuit of power and revenge become on par with Antonio’s pursuit of political power
- Shakespeare and tapping in the gray area of humanity
- Supernatural as a manifestation of a concept
