Analysis essay for The Tempest

Essay # 2 The Tempest Prompt

4-5 pages (MLA format)

Character:

The Tempest presents a variety of characters who manipulate each other, raising questions about personal agency and autonomy.

How are characters formed as the result of other characters’ direct influence?

How might the text mirror our own experiences of identity formation?

Perhaps the text suggests that we can never be autonomous individuals due to the ease by which we are influenced by others.

Do you agree or disagree with this claim?  

Be sure to support your position with concrete examples; these examples may come from your personal experience and observations, but you should also use the main text of The Tempest as the basis for each of your claims.

(Terms to define in the paper: agency, autonomy, influence)
