He seeks and accepts forgiveness and he gives up magic, the unorthodox thing which caused him to lose his kingdom. Basically, I think (at least what i've managed to gather from class) is that Prospero ends up successful in regaining his dukedom because he returns to the conventional, accepted method of ruling, i.e. practicising good governance like all kings and royalty should rather than focusing on the 'dark arts' of magic.

Heya! Sorry for the late reply! I think you could definitely link this idea to social order - Prospero is able to practice good governance by accepting the social order and his place within it, rather than disrupting it through his use of magic! He accepts his role and humanity :)

Hope this makes sense!

Thanks!

Heya! It's been a while since I studied the text closely, so I can't remember for certain what other language techniques I mentioned: However here was a website that I remember using last year if it helps!
