This document provides a comparison of William Shakespeare's play "The Tempest" and Aimé Césaire's adaptation "A Tempest". It notes some of the key differences between the original play and Césaire's version, including that Césaire's play has 3 acts compared to Shakespeare's 5, is written in French prose and blank verse rather than just blank verse, and explores themes of colonialism and Negritude from the perspective of Caliban and Ariel. The document also provides brief summaries of the plots of both plays and highlights how Césaire changes aspects of Shakespeare's story, such as introducing the character of Eshu and portraying Prospero's oppression as more racial.
