Irony

Betrayal

Ferdinand used irony when describing the work he was doing for Miranda and her father, "Some kinds of lowly activities are done for noble reasons".

Setting

Romantics Culture Norm

The island; in a cave

  • Claim: Ferdinand wants what is best for Miranda. He doesn't want her to get hurt, as Miranda wants the same.

  • Evidence: "The very instant that I saw you did

My heart fly to your service, there resides

To make me slave to it, and for your sake

Am I this patient log-man"

  • Analysis: he would do anything for her no matter how hurt we will get

The Tempest: Act 3, Scene 1

Parent-Child Culture Norm

  • Claim: Although it may seem like fathers are over protective at times, Prospero just wants what is best for his daughter.

  • Evidence: "This my mean task

Would be as heavy to me as odious, but

The mistress which I serve quickens what’s dead

And makes my labors pleasures. Oh, she is

Ten times more gentle than her father’s crabbed,

And he’s composed of harshness. I must remove

Some thousands of these logs and pile them up,

Upon a sore injunction"

  • Analysis: It is Prosero's way of making sure that Ferdinand is right for his daughter. he is testing his strength, hard work, if he obeys or if he will ever hurt her. However, Miranda sees it as just slavery and taking advantage of him.

Synopsis

The Tempest: Act 2, Scene 2

Virtue

Prospero explains to Ferdinand the virtue of hard work and why he feels it is a necessary trait for Ferdinand. As a father lets go of his daughter , the father finds it important to have a strong dependent man who works hard and can fulfill his daughters needs. Therefore Prospero looks for that in Ferdinand to give to his daughter.

Caliban complains about being Prospero's slave and wishes bad things on him. Trinculo and Stephano find each other at last. They all drink wine, getting drunk. Caliban begs Stephano to be his King.
