ACT I ANALYSIS --- LEVEL 2 QUESTIONS

In Prospero’s questioning of Ariel, we learn that the storm is part of Prospero’s design. Does he want to punish those who conspired against him or lead them to repent (ask for his forgiveness)?

Ariel was imprisoned by Sycorax --- why? How does the physical description of Sycorax compare to your impressions of Ariel?

What connection does Shakespeare establish between the outward appearance and inner spirit? What do you think he wants the reader/audience to feel about these characters?

What is your reaction to Prospero’s treatment of Caliban? Does Caliban have a legitimate complaint against Prospero? Why does Prospero keep Caliban as his servant/slave even though he despises him? Why do you think Caliban attempted to “violate the honor” of Miranda?

Prospero is happy that when Miranda first sees Ferdinand she is immediately captivated by his appearance. Why? What is his plan?

Ferdinand and Miranda fall in love at first sight. Prospero says, “They have changed eyes.” Does this seem feasible/possible, given the emotional state of these two young people?

Example KFQ (kid-friendly-question): How does the poet show that he feels guilty about killing the man?

Your answer to the questions becomes your topic sentence. Make sure you include the title and author in the topic sentence as well.

Example: In the poem “The Man He Killed” by Thomas Hardy, the poet shows his guilt over killing the man in several ways.

‘translate’ the section into modern language4. Use your best judgment/guess to determine what

this section means, write this down in your graphic organizer

5. SEPARATELY fill in your worksheet with what you think this section means

6. Then work with your partner to determine what this part ‘translated’ to.

7. We will discuss full class what this section means

EXAMPLE, LINES 1-17 Gonzalo tells Alonso to cheer up as they are

still alive (it is a miracle!). Alonso tells Gonzalo to not say anything

more, as he is sad and depressed (over his supposed son’s death).

Sebastian and Antonio make rude comments about Gonzalo (“Alonso enjoys Gonzalo’s comforting words almost as much as cold oatmeal”)
