This document provides a plot summary of Shakespeare's play The Tempest in 5 acts. It includes a diagram summarizing the key events in each scene. The document instructs students to analyze the power relationships between characters in each scene by identifying who has power and how this is illustrated through Shakespeare's language, finding quotes to support this. It also assigns homework to complete the power diagram analysis for Wednesday.
The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1610–11, and thought by many critics to be the last play that Shakespeare wrote alone. It is set on a remote island, where the sorcerer Prospero, rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place using illusion and skilful manipulation. He conjures up a storm, the eponymous tempest, to cause his usurping brother Antonio and the complicit King Alonso of Naples to believe they are shipwrecked and marooned on the island. There, his machinations bring about the revelation of Antonio's lowly nature, the redemption of the King, and the marriage of Miranda to Alonso's son, Ferdinand.
