Comment 7

What I was pleasantly surprised by in the Tempest was Shakespeare’s sense of transformation and reconciliation. Everyone was reconciled, except of course Caliban, who was a monster anyway. I was thrilled by the resurrection of Shakespeare’s use of the stage metaphor for life and death. The continuation of his play within a play. I think it particularly apt that he likens the closing of a play, to the possible ending of his stage writing career. The Tempest has a significantly different feel to his other plays. The sense of reconciliation was enlightening.
