1 The Tempest Discussion Questions ACT I 1. Why is it significant that the play begins with a storm? How do the different characters in scene 1 react to crisis? 2. In scene 2, Prospero recounts to Miranda, his daughter, of their origins and how they got to the island. Briefly recount this story here. What other characters are mentioned? Describe the characteristics of Prospero and Miranda. Support your descriptions with quotations from these characters. 3. Who are Prospero s two servants? What do they have in common, and how do they contrast? Describe the characteristics and motivations of these characters. Support your descriptions with quotations from these characters. 4. Who is Ferdinand? How is he lured to Prospero and Miranda? Does anything seem familiar about this? How does Miranda respond to him? What plans does Prospero have for him? What are your predictions for how this might turn out?

2 ACT II 1. Describe Gonzalo. What was his role in the plot against Prospero? Does his behavior seem consistent with how he acts now? How do other characters react to him? What does this suggest about them? 2. What is Gonzalo s idea of the type of government or lifestyle that could be possible on this island? Why does he say this at this time? 3. What does Antonio try to convince Sebastian to do? Why? What does this tell us about Antonio s motives? What does Sebastian s response tell us about him? What could Shakespeare be saying about human nature? 4. Is it surprising that Caliban willingly worships Stephano and desires to give him control of the island when he resents Prospero for usurping what he considers his rightful claim to the island? What does this show about Caliban? What is the dramatic function of this humourous scene?

3 ACT III 1. What task has Prospero imposed upon Ferdinand? Why? How has Ferdinand s and Miranda s love deepened from their first attraction? What is Shakespeare suggesting about the true nature of love? 2. What does Caliban ask Stephano and Trinculo to do? What does he hope to accomplish by his plot? Why does Shakespeare include this subplot mirroring the conspiracy of the nobles? 3. Have Sebastian and Antonio learned their lesson from what happened in II.i? 4. How does the apparition of the banquet affect Alonso and his retinue? How is the banquet used as a symbol? Why aren t the men allowed to eat the food? What is the function of Ariel in III.ii?

4 ACT IV 1. What has Prospero agreed to at the beginning of the scene? What warning does he give to Ferdinand and Miranda? 2. What is the overall impact of the Masque-like? How is it supposed to affect the two young lovers? What is its message about the sanctity of the marriage bond? 3. Why does the masque suddenly disappear when Prospero remembers the plot against him by Caliban and his crew? What is Shakespeare suggesting by contrasting these two events? Notice the theatrical metaphors in the central part of Prospero s speech. This is often thought of as Shakespeare s farewell to the theatre. How might it be read that way? 4. What does Prospero tell Ariel to prepare for Caliban, Stephano, and Trinculo? What is Prospero's reaction to what Caliban has done? Is his reaction justified?

5 ACT V 1.How does Prospero decide to treat his enemies? Why is Ariel the first to speak of mercy? Do you think Prospero had planned this from the beginning? 2. Why does Prospero decide to give up magic? What does his choice show about what he thinks happened in the past? How does he plan to live in the future? What has Prospero learned? Has he changed in any fundamental way or had the change already occurred before the beginning of the play s action? 3. How does the island serve as a testing ground for human nature? For Prospero? For Shakespeare? 4. How can Prospero be read as a characterization of William Shakespeare? 5. How is Realism, Romance, and the Supernatural intermingled in The Tempest? Find as many examples of each as you can.
