CONCLUSION 54 BIBLIOGRAPHY 56 ill CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION One of the important aspects of a study of literature is relativity. In trying to understand the universality of literature, scholars aj?e continually discovering and relating recurring themes, literary techniques, and characters. By studying recurring themes, scholars can understand the ideas and problems which have interested authors of many eras. By studying recurring literary techniques, they can see the value of techniques which have been useful throughout history. And, by studying reciorring characters (or types of characters), they can L-"' / understand the qualities of human nature which are un- ^^ changing. Possibly the most interesting consideration of this type of relativity is the comparison of recurring char­ acters. Authors sometimes choose, as subjects for their own literary works, characters that have been created by another author. When such a choice is made, and when the recreated characters are not renamed, the student of literature becomes especially interested in trying to compare the two works and the characters that are used in both works.

    Vol.7(5), pp. 62-68, May 2016 DOI: 10.5897/IJEL2016.0915 Article Number: 280722E58642 ISSN 2141-2626 International Journal of English and Literature Copyright © 2016 Author(s) retain the copyright of this article http://www.academicjournals.org/IJEL Full Length Research Paper Identities in The Tempest, Tempests in Identities Begüm Tuğlu Department of English Language and Literature, Ege University, Turkey. Received 6 March, 2015; Accepted 25 April 2016 This study aims to analyze the identity formation of the characters in Shakespeare’s play The Tempest in terms of psychoanalytic theories of identity. It also aims to portray the patriarchal dominance over the marginalized characters and the shifting process of identification through the interpellation of the society. Since this process carries the potential to reveal the universal effects of the elements that nurture the identities of the individuals on a microcosmic scale, the play proves to be a perfect stage to explore the interactions between certain embodiments of identities. This research aims to explore the identity formation of the characters in The Tempest through psychoanalysis to reveal how the Western patriarchal ideology, mainly reflected through Prospero, subjugates and controls other formations of identity that fall beneath the social hierarchy as in the examples of Miranda, Ariel and Caliban. While Prospero stands as the main authority who rules the island, all other forms of identity seem to remain as mere subjects of his control. Though the play is presented as a romantic comedy, the findings in this study suggest that patriarchal ideology is stealthily reinforced through the notions of gender and identity.

    Olympos Epub Downloads Beneath the gaze of the gods, the mighty armies of Greece and Troy met in fierce and glorious combat, scrupulously following the text set forth in Homer's timeless narrative. But that was before twenty-first-century scholar Thomas Hockenberry stirred the bloody brew, causing an enraged Achilles to join forces with his archenemy Hector and turn his murderous wrath on Zeus and the entire pantheon of divine manipulators; before the swift and terrible mechanical creatures that catered for centuries to the pitiful idle remnants of Earth's human race began massing in the millions, to exterminate rather than serve.And now all bets are off.

FAHEY SUBMITTED TO SCRIPPS COLLEGE IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS PROFESSOR DECKER PROFESSOR SHELTON DECEMBER 16, 2016 I. Introduction In both William Shakespeare’s The Tempest and Aimé Césaire’s 1965 adaptation Une Tempête, a character’s power is directly linked to how much of a voice he or she has throughout the text. Both texts deal very explicitly with power, although Shakespeare focuses more on Prospero regaining his power through a position in European society, while Césaire is concerned with the effects of colonial figures (represented by Prospero) on the colonized (represented by Ariel and Caliban). Césaire explores in depth the character of Caliban who serves as the protagonist, instead of his antagonistic role in Shakespeare’s play. Césaire explicitly casts Caliban as a black slave and Ariel as a mulatto slave, bringing the ideas of colonialism to the forefront of the play.

JRMMRA 9 (1988) Shakespeare's Romance of Knowing by Maurice Hunt Baylor University From time to time literary cnucs have claimed that Shakespeare's undisputed last plays-Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale, and The Tempest-are, to varying degrees, concerned with the main characters' learning experiences. These claims range, for example, from Stephen Orgel's argument that adver• sity schools Alonso and Prospero in humility to Northrop Frye's assertion that education provides the means for the protagonists of the last plays to recover some sort of paradise. 1 In other words, critics over the years have claimed in different ways that the last plays are either educational or epistemological romances. And yet no one, to my knowledge, has tried to explain why Shakespeare was inclined to make dramatic romance so especially concerned with various and complex ways of knowing. In this essay I argue that Shakespeare, in his last plays, established a kind of play-a "romance of knowing"-previously not seen in a fully articulated form on either the Elizabethan or the Jacobean stage.

  • Tempest and Dr. Faustus
    Of Drowning Books and Burning Souls: Magic, Minions, Relationships, and Crisis in The Tempest and Dr. Faustus Miranda Jade Friel Faculty Sponsor: Dr. Emily Leverett Department of English and Writing The central figures of Marlowe’s The Tragedy of Doctor Faustus and Shakespeare’s The Tempest bear intriguing similarities. Their use of magic and means of acquiring it, along with their interactions with their servants, highlight their relationship to reality. Both men are faced with a similar crisis at the end of their respective play as well. After having magical powers throughout the majority of the story, each man is asked, subtly or directly, to relinquish his hold on the supernatural. Yet, despite having so many characteristics in common, the two plays reach dramatically different conclusions. While later acknowledging the melancholy nature of returning to life sans powers, Prospero gives up his books and breaks his staff (Shakespeare 5.1.54-57). He also frees Ariel and Caliban, his two companions. Although entreated several times by an Old Man and various angels to repent of his ways, Faustus is dragged to Hell (Marlowe 13.11). An in-depth examination of Prospero’s and Faustus’s powers, the ways they use them, the acquisition of and relationships to their minions, and their ultimate relationships to non-magical reality provides insight into their differing destinies. These aspects of their characters also indicate that viewing Prospero as a good magician and Faustus as a bad one is reductionist, and that such a perspective is not helpful in understanding their fates. One of the most prominent similarities between Prospero and Faustus is their possession of magical powers.
