The Expository Paragraph

"Una Tempestad"
A. Characters
1. Prospero was the ruler of a deserted island where there were few people. He ruled with oppression by being a bully to Caliban and taking away his and Ariel's freedom. He believed in magic.
2. Caliban was the slave of Prospero. He was mistreated every day by the oppression of his king. Caliban believed in the Gods of water, earth, wind, sky and nature.
3. Shadows were shown in the back part of the play. They showed the freedom that the characters wished to have.
B. Answers
1. The speeches that Caliban did during the play affected my perception of his character. In the beginning I just thought that he was a slave like any other that would submit quietly to the orders of his owner. Then I could see that he was forced to be the way he was and he was suffering so much that he had to take a stand little by little to believe again in freedom.
2. Miranda in the beginning of the play was very innocent. I think that as the play went on she became more aware of what the reality of her father was and how evil he really was. Also she falls in love and this changes many things in her emotional life.
3. Trinculo an Stephano believed that the island hat potential to make them very wealthy and that they could actually reign and exploit it.
4. The lights, the shadows, the sound effects and the props that the Dr, Isel Rodríguez used on stage made the play feel very realistic.
5. My opinion of the play is that it was very funny but at the same time demonstrated the essence of the message the author wished to portray, it was very nice to watch.
6. One theme of the play would be the oppression against the black and it was represented by Caliban who was treated like an animal just because he was black.
