Answer оne оf the fоllowing questions аbout The Tempest: 7. The usurpаtion of Prospero’s dukedom by Antonio, аided by Alonso, harmed not only Prospero but also Miranda. Although he appears intent on revenge, Prospero eventually declares that “the rarer action is in virtue than in vengeance.” What reasons does he have to seek revenge, and why does he choose reconciliation instead? How do you view his choice? 8. Prospero’s magic can be read as a metaphor for Shakespeare’s art of dramaturgy. How does Prospero’s control of the island, its inhabitants, and the events of the play reflect the role of a playwright? In your response, cite specific examples of Prospero’s magic and explain how they illuminate the comparison between Prospero the magus and Shakespeare the playwright. 9.

Answer оne оf the fоllowing questions аbout Pаrаdise Lost: 11. The character Satan is not heroic. Milton did not intend for Satan to be the hero of his poem. Milton was a devout Puritan. But Milton may have wanted his readers, who are fallen themselves and thus prone to sin, to derive a secret thrill from the underdog Satan's rebellion and refusal to submit. In his book Surprised by Sin, Stanley Fish argues that the readers of PL are surprised by their own fall into sin as they move from the first half to the second half of Milton's epic. During the first half of Paradise Lost, a reader may come to symphathize with and even admire the character Satan. In later books, this view is corrected by the words and examples of such characters as Raphael (an angel), Michael (another angel), the Son (i.e., Christ before he became man), and Abdiel (a good angel who is caught up unwittingly in the rebellion of the bad angels but courageously turns his back on them and walks away after rebuking them soundly). Whether you accept Fish's interpretation or not, it is evident that Satan has qualities that might at first seem heroic or admirable. What are they? Discuss them. Draw specific examples from Books I and II. 12. Based on your reading of Book II of Paradise Lost, what are the seven or eight oddest features of Milton's Hell, and why are they odd? 13. Literary epics usually begin in medias res (in the middle of things) rather than ab ovo (from the egg). They typically include an invocation to the muse, a statement of purpose, lengthy catalogues (such as the list of trees in The Faerie Queene or ships in the Aeneid), elaborate similes, and long speeches, as well as instances of divine intervention and some kind of descent into the underworld. Moreover, they usually have vast settings and struggles with high stakes. Using examples from Book 1 of Paradise Lost, explain how Milton takes this epic formula and Christianizes it?
