The TempestShakespeare's valedictory play is also one of his most poetical and magical. The story involves the spirit Ariel, the savage Caliban, and Prospero, the banished Duke of Milan, now a wizard living on a remote island who uses his magic to shipwreck a party of ex-compatriots. |

LibraryThing Review
Gebruikersrecensie - BrynDahlquis - LibraryThingA very interesting Shakespeare play, and not really like any other I've read so far. It doesn't fall into any of his three categories of history, tragedy, or comedy. Parts of it are amusing, but not ... Volledige review lezen
LibraryThing Review
Gebruikersrecensie - LaPhenix - LibraryThingThis was rather mild for a Shakespeare play. While I can't aver that I understood every pun and allusion in the play I did enjoy it. It's amazing how a play existing almost on dialogue alone can convey such vivid images. Volledige review lezen

Populaire passages
Pagina xx - Be not afeard ; the isle is full of noises, Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight, and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments Will hum about mine ears ; and sometime voices, That, if I then had wak'd after long sleep, Will make me sleep again : and then, in dreaming, The clouds methought would open, and show riches Ready to drop upon me ; that, when I wak'd, I cried to dream again.
Pagina x - If by your art, my dearest father, you have Put the wild waters in this roar, allay them : The sky, it seems, would pour down stinking pitch, But that the sea, mounting to the welkin's cheek, Dashes the fire out.
Pagina xxv - Where the bee sucks, there suck I ; In a cowslip's bell I lie : There I couch*. When owls do cry, '} \ On the bat's back I do fly, After summer, merrily : Merrily, merrily, shall I live now, Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
Pagina xxix - It may seem a paradox, but I cannot help being of \ opinion that the plays of Shakespeare are less calculated for performance on a stage than those of almost any other dramatist whatever.
Pagina xxiii - All hail, great master! grave sir, hail ! I come To answer thy best pleasure ; be't to fly, To swim, to dive into the fire, to ride On the curl'd clouds ; to thy strong bidding, task Ariel, and all his quality.
