The Expository Paragraph

"Una Tempestad"

Prospero was a troubled character, he was banished to the island because of a rivalry with his brother.  Prospero called himself a “god” he used his powers to punish those around him. In the play he was the oppressor, Caliban and Ariel were his slaves.  Prospero didn’t really have much freedom, yes he was the “king” of the island, but he had to stay only in that place. That is why he didn’t want to give Caliban and Ariel their freedom. Caliban was a native of the island, often called a monster by others. Caliban had his own religion and believed in his own god, he didn’t saw Prospero as a “god”. Prospero oppressed Caliban; he was tired of being his slave. He wanted to be free and to be the real king of the island. His speeches made me understand the character better. He was very tough, fighter and he was always trying to find a way to obtain his freedom. Miranda at first of the play was very compassionate, she then falls in love with Ferdinan and marries him.  Trinculo and Stephano saw a lot of potential in the island. They wanted to be in charge of the island and they didn’t really care of other than to drink rum. Dr. Isel Rodriguez had the idea to have some students using instruments to create sounds of nature, animals and in that way create the environment necessary for each scene. I liked the play a lot. It was really well done and the shadows was a nice twist. One theme that can be seen in the play was justice. Which Prospero represents a lot, but at the same he has an incorrect view of what justice really is. He seeks justice because of what his brother did to him but at the same time he is being injustice by having Caliban and Ariel as his slaves.
