In Act III of “The Tempest”, the themes servitude and freedom are explored through the characters of Ariel and Caliban, each representing and contrasting different facets of these themes. Ariel’s character embodies a spirit who wishes to gain freedom. His servitude highlights his loyalty and desire of freedom. Ariel obeys Prospero’s orders in hopes that it will gain him the freedom he wishes, however, Ariel’s submission towards Prospero only comes to show the lengths he is willing to go, even if it means to relinquish his own power and well being. On the other hand, Caliban only obeys Prospero by force. Caliban’s servitude only shows his desire for rebellion, and…

In Caliban’s situation, he was enslaved by Prospero and forced into servitude. As he resents Prospero’s rule, seeking liberation, he plots against him, which demonstrates his resistance to oppression and quest for freedom. His situation shows colonial exploitation, injustice of forced labor and cultural domination which doesn’t give him liberation. But in Ariel’s situation , she was willing to serve and be loyal to Prospero by choice . Both situations reveal complexities of human nature, underscoring desires for freedom, autonomy and self-determination.

In Act III of “The Tempest,” the ideas of being a servant and wanting freedom are shown through Ariel and Caliban. Ariel, a spirit who works for Prospero, does his tasks well because he hopes to be free someday. He listens and acts quickly because he knows freedom might come if he keeps doing what he’s told. Ariel’s story shows that even tough situations can be handled if there’s hope for freedom later. Caliban’s story is different. He was forced to serve Prospero after first being friendly to him. Unlike Ariel, Caliban is angry and upset about losing his freedom. He believes the island should be his and sees Prospero’s…

Gonzalo’s idea of a “natural” society seems nice, but it’s really a way for civilization to imagine controlling nature, ignoring real human conflicts and desires. Ariel and Caliban react differently to Prospero’s control: Ariel follows orders to earn his freedom, while Caliban resists to keep his own identity. Their choices show how people can seek freedom either by obeying or by fighting back. Together, these actions show the tension between nature and civilization and how people struggle with their place in it.

In Act I, Scene 1 of “The Tempest,” Prospero shows the theme of power and control through his magic. He uses his abilities to create a big storm that affects a ship carrying sailors. This storm demonstrates how much control he has over the situation and the people involved. The sailors are scared and feel helpless against the storm. This shows that they cannot fight back against Prospero’s power. He is in a different place, yet he can control what happens to them, which emphasizes his strength and authority. This scene sets the tone for the rest of the play, making it clear that Prospero can influence the lives of…
