Answer: The two themes present in this play are:

  1. freedom and subordination
  2. the supernatural

Explanation:

<em>The Tempest</em> is Shakespeare's play about a magician named Prospero. He has been banished from his dukedom and arrives on an enchanted island together with his daughter. Prospero was preoccupied with his books and magic, and he neglected his state duties.

  1. On the island, Prospero imprisons Caliban, a strange creature that tries to take his daughter's innocence. Caliban becomes Prospero's slave, and Prospero teaches him language and forces him to carry out certain tasks for him. The only native on the island, Caliban becomes a slave and loses his freedom. Ariel, Prospero's servant, certainly has more freedom than Caliban, but is also under Prospero's control and reminds him that he promised him freedom: <em>"Is there more toil? Since thou dost give me pains...."</em>
  2. The theme of supernatural is present from the very beginning of the play. The tempest itself is a product of Prospero's wizardry. His magic gives him power and enables him to take revenge on his enemies. But magic is also Prospero's main weakness, as his preoccupation with it resulted in his failure as a ruler. Apart from Prospero, Ariel also uses magic to carry out his tasks. By creating magic, Ariel makes people fall asleep, creates music, and does all those "funny tricks." After all, this is an enchanted island, and Caliban perfectly describes it in one of the most famous lines from this play: "<em>The isle is full of noises, Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not....."</em>

The answer is C, or "If it snows, we can build a snowman".  A conditional statement is when the outcome of a situation depends on if a condition happens.  If this happens (it snows), then this will happen (we can build a snowman).

Read this excerpt from Lady Macbeth's soliloquy.
nignag [31]

Lady Macbeth’s soliloquy creates suspense by making readers wonder whether Macbeth has carried out the murder, as stated in option A and explained below.

<h3>What is suspense?</h3>

We say an author creates suspense when he or she leaves readers curious about what will happen next in the story. That is what Shakespeare does in the excerpt from Lady Macbeth's soliloquy that we are analyzing here.

The excerpt reveals the following:

  • Lady Macbeth was supposed to murder the king.
  • She was able to drug the guards to make them fall asleep.
  • She did not kill the king because he looked like her father.
  • She is unsure as to whether her husband was able to kill the king or not.
  • She is afraid the guards have woken up.

Thus, readers are left wondering whether Macbeth has carried out the murder. Lady Macbeth reveals only enough to make readers curious, which means suspense is created.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer.
