Description

This is the course blog for a second-year college writing class on American Shakespeare. At The Ohio State University, all English 2367.02 courses focus on the U.S. experience through literature, so this course explores the implications of American appropriations of Shakespeare. Because this is a writing course, each student has created a blog that will serve as a venue for writing responses to the various prompts posted on this blog. To view student responses, check out some of the blogs in the Blog Roll on the right.

Prospero's Plan(s)

The Tempest appears to be a play in which much of what happens is somehow orchestrated by Prospero. What do you think his plan is, and do you think that it changes at any point throughout the play (and if so, when and why)? What kind of impact do you think the plan is meant to have on the other characters in the play, and how effectively does Prospero achieve those goals?

As usual, these questions are intended to prompt an analytical response, and you'll need to point to specific passages in the text to support your interpretations. Please make sure that your response is at least 250 words long so that it offers the thoroughness that these questions require.
