Points

The Tempest

Definition:  
  • N.
  • A violent windstorm, frequently accompanied by rain, snow, or hail.
  • Furious agitation, commotion, or tumult; an uproar: "The tempest in my mind/Doth from my senses take all feeling"(Shakespeare).
  • [Middle English, from Old French tempeste, from Vulgar Latin *tempesta, variant of Latin tempests, from tempus,time.]
The Books:
Definition:
  • N.
  • a handwritten or printed work of fiction or nonfiction, usually on sheets of paper fastened or bound together within covers.
These were two themes within the plays within the plays that I found were more important than most. The Tempest, being the name of the play, is also the storm that ensues the ship and also the "game" that Prospero plays with his brother and the others while using his daughter, Miranda, was a character but also a vessel for pay back and redemption. The Books were a symbol of knowledge and power but inevitably caused more harm then good.
