Paper Summary:

An analysis of Shakespeare's themes in "The Tempest" including humanity's dark and light dualities as revealed in his characters' and all humans' reality and illusion, imprisonment and freedom, dark magic and white magic, beauty and ugliness and power. A look at the themes of the play.

From the Paper:

"In"The Tempest", Shakespeare, like a juggler plays with many ideas, or themes. Through the magic of his remarkable art, he keeps all his idea balls in the air at the same time and keeps his audience entranced. Magic and enchantment are in fact the central force that Shakespeare uses to keep all those balls aloft. What I propose to do within the limited scope of this short paper is to describe just a few of the thematic balls being juggled in The Tempest and to reveal through the use of comparison and contrast just a little of how Shakespeare managed to keep those balls spinning at dizzying speed."
