Title: AOS - The Tempest (Miranda)
Post by: elizag on October 15, 2017, 11:11:09 am
Hey,
In the rubric it states "Discoveries may be questioned or challenged when viewed from different perspectives and their worth may be reassessed over time"
How would this relate to Miranda in the Tempest? Aside her initial shock and questioning when she discovers that Prospero was the Duke of Milan
Thank you!

I guess you could have Miranda's discovery of love within Ferdinand, and then Prospero seeing this from a very negative perspectivee at first.

Hey! Been a while since I studied this text (literally a year wow that seems so crazy to me), but from what I remember Miranda lived a very isolated life, with her father Prospero, and Caliban (an individual who attempted to rape her) being the only men (or really people in general) who she knows. Thus, when she meets Ferdinand she is given a new perspective as to what humanity really encompasses!
