Group 1: What is the role of the storm in the play? What does it represent?
Group 2: What is the role of Miranda and Ferdinand in light of the rest of the characters?
Group 3: What is the significance of the form of a “masque” in this time, and how does The Tempest (Shakespeare, and the film) reflect this?
Group 4: One interpretation of The Tempest identifies Prospero with William Shakespeare himself. Take a few moments to reflect on how Prospero’s character might parallel with the role of a playwright.
Students will have a few moments to prepare their thoughts, and reflect on their prepared notes. As each “panel” reflects on their question, students will add to their notes.
These questions, among other topics surrounding the text will be discussed tomorrow. If you borrowed a text, please bring it in tomorrow.
Your notes should show thoughtfulness, preparation, and effort.
I look forward to hearing your wonderful ideas!
