Gonzalo’s vision of an ideal society reflects his optimism, idealism, and deep-seated belief in equality and justice. He imagines a utopian world free from commerce, social hierarchy, and labor, a place where nature provides for everyone equally, and where people live in harmony without rulers or laws. Gonzalo’s utopia may be impractical, but it underscores the sincerity and integrity that define his character in The Tempest.
