    An individual’s personal experience can act as a catalyst to reveal momentous discoveries that can ultimately enable some to re-evaluate their values. This notion is prevalent in George Orwell’s 1936 confessional essay, “Shooting an Elephant” whereby an individual is exposed to the inhumane and callous nature of mankind during his time in Burma. The text condemns the despotic British Imperialism within the East through the lens of a single police officer’s recollection of his time in Burma. Similarly, William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” conveys a dominant character, Prospero who holds authority over Ariel.…

    Giorgione The Tempest

    Giorgione, “The Tempest” 1509. This artwork is representational because it looks realistic. It is in the textbook on page 453. You are looking at the painting of an almost nude women who nurses her child. To the left of her is a man wearing a German Mercenary Solider glaze at them. His two-toned hosiery seems to identify him as a member of the Campagnia Della Calza. There in the foreground stands a pediment topped by two broken columns. In the middle of the artwork there is a bridge that crosses the estuary, and in the background, there is lightning flashing in distance. It looks like a storm is approaching in the foreground. It looks like she has red or brown hair. The women are between some trees with a white blanket over her shoulders. She has her right knee standing up trying to help hold the child up to her breast. She has tan skin and a scarf on her head. The soldier is a brown skin color and has dark brown hair. He has on a white shirt with a black jacket on…

    SYDNEY STUDIES The Tempest and the Discourse of Colonialism G. A. WILKES If the study of Shakespeare itself can be viewed as an act of cultural imperialism, a play like The Tempest can readily be seen as a text which is complicit with colonial power. Prospero is the usurping invader, nervous about the legitimacy of his rule, and Caliban is the representative of the subjugated race, his language lessons seen as an attempt to eradicate his own culture, or to bring it under imperialist control. The best way of entry into this debate is still Stephen Greenblatt 's essay of 1976, 'Learning to Curse: Aspects of Linguistic Colonialism in the Sixteenth Century ', though its implications may not yet have been fully grasped.…

    Response Paper The Tempest

    • 1049 Words
    • 3 Pages

    There are 3 main themes in Shakespeare’s: The Tempest just as there are in any other play. One of the themes in The Tempest consist of the falseness of realities justice which creates an illusion. During the play it was shown that the view of one character controlled everyone’s fortune within the story. The way this was presented was how the main character Prospero would walk around the stage and was not even noticed by any of the character who were acting, but he would manage to have control over them. The second theme would be distinguishing the monsters from actual men. Caliban was portrayed as a monster or so called demon. He possessed demonic horns and walked around as he had hooves for feet. Though it seemed that he was accepted by Miranda, but opposed by Prospero, Caliban’s actual identify at times seemed a bit ambiguous. The third theme following the play was colonialism. Following the second theme noticed how devilish Caliban was he would make a remark to Stephano to kill Prospero. Given the thought of opportunity Stephano then sees himself with Prospero’s daughter ruling as King and Queen.…

    The title of this book fascinates me. Here’s why: I’m reading the book in honor of April being National Dog Month (indeed there is a dog named Soldier in the book), yet the story is about two coming-of-age Native boys. The title comes from the geography. Truth is an American town on one side of a river and Bright Water is a reserve on the Canadian side of the same river. Truth and Bright Water are sister cities, or tiny towns to be exact.…
