Power is a theme Shakespeare visits throughout 'The Tempest'. This video probes that theme -- including Prospero’s supernatural powers and yearning to resume his dukedom, Antonio’s power base in Milan, the murder plot to make Sebastian king of Naples, and more. It also reflects on the personal costs of having power, and surrendering it. Ideal for students of middle to senior level Literature and English.
