I liked how the issue of sexuality played a role along with the issue of feminist goals in this play.

This is evident because he changes the way Caliban acts when he first arrives to the island and treats him like he is lesser than

Colonialism occurs when one nation takes control of another. Unfortunately‚ this is exactly what the British did to the Africans. The British took over their land basically without the Africans knowledge. Although the British created a more developed civilization with the many aspects they brought to Kenya‚ they greatly affected Africans economically‚ politically‚ socially and culturally. With that being stated‚ Kenya would not be the country it is this very day if it weren’t for the British colonizing
