Which thematic statement is best demonstrated by the events of Shakespeare's The Tempest

English

Tanya [424]3 years ago

The thematic statement that is best described by Shakespeare’s The Tempest is B) Even in a new place with new people, travelers never escape their old problems.

The premise of releasing people in a inhospitable land where they are the mercy of human nature itself is a revelation: the characters may be exposed to several situations in which opportunity is given for them to behave in disagreement with their societal roles, however, that never takes place and they still act according to what society demands and expects of them. Prospero intends to recover his title, in spite of possessing an entire island to himself and a spirit at his beck and call, because that is what society has taught him to reach for. Miranda and Ferdinand do not consumate their passion when nobody is there to halt them, because refraining is what society dictates that they must do. Caliban, Trinculo and Stephano do not manage to ascend socially or gain power and freedom, because society exercises its control over them. Most notably and tellingly, upon shipwrecking and finding himself stranded on a remote island, Gonzalo fantasizes about a somewhat utopian society that he never manages to make come true in the play, perhaps because all the characters are either conformed or confined to their roles.

In short: if a fish is taken out of water, it is still a fish, that behaves as a fish does, and deals with the predicaments that a fish must face, even out of his element.

Type 3 paragraph response on each one, focusing on you take or position of each topic.
Natasha_Volkova [10]
Ah, dating! Symbol of love! But what is the right age to start? I strongly believe that dating should be at the age of 16 because that is a time when you are almost an adult and becoming (much) more responsible. Especially when you are having a Sweet 16.
To add on, this is also a time when you are almost done with high school, this sports a level of maturity and responsibility from a person thus giving them practice to focus on important decisions in life while still in a relationship.

However, I also believe it’s up to the parents/guardian and the person possibly looking for love. To explain, the person may not look for love for a variety of different reasons, such as sexuality, anxiety etc. Moreover, the parents/guardians may not allow dating at a specific age because of their experience, things they’ve heard, or even just being a “helicopter parent(s)”.

All in all, my position on dating age is very versatile. I believe it can be at age 16 because if the level of maturity and responsibility. On the other hand, it can be because of sexuality, anxiety or the rules parents/guardians put in place.

What conclusion can be drawn about this scene based on
lidiya [134]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

A few minutes later, Luma arrived. Members of the Under Fifteens and Seventeens were warming up when she walked onto the field past Fornatee, without making eye contact. Luma blew her whistle and told the two teams to gather at opposite ends of the field.

"She's more than a coach—that's why," Fornatee said, almost to himself. "She's a great person. I'm going to go over there and tell her, 'That's my team.'"

Fornatee hesitated. I asked him if he was nervous about talking to Coach. He laughed anxiously, then composed himself.

"Nah—I'm not nervous," he said.

What conclusion can be drawn about this scene based on the narrator's decision to write in the first-person point of view?

Answer:

The narrator experienced this event in person.

Explanation:

The narration that uses the point of view in first person is a narration made by a character of the plot telling what he witnessed and the experiences he lived in a certain moment of his life. That way we learn about the events that occur in the narrative through the character's perspective, what he saw and what he felt.

In this case, we can say that when the narrator used the point of view in the first person, he wanted to show that he lived this experience in person.

Keith_Richards [23]
Building a fire is an act of technical skill and technology, and fire in literature has also often been used as a symbol of knowledge. The building of a fire thus symbolizes life in the story, but also life through human knowledge, skill, and technology.
