The Tempest-Bringing it all Together. Analyzes the Epilogue of Shakespeare's "The Tempest"

        The Epilogue of the Tempest by William Shakespeare is an excellent -- if

not the best -- practice session of Shakespeares brilliance. In 20 lines

Shakespeare is able to write an excellent shutting to his play, while speaking

through his characters about Shakespeares own life and career. Even

more amazingly, he seemlessly ties the deuce together.

        In the context of use of the story Prosperos monologue makes perfect sense. He

has befuddled his magical power, so his charms are oerthrown, and what

strength [Prospero] haves [his] own, which is most faint. He is straightaway

confined on the Island, for his other choice would be to go to Naples and

reclaim his dukedom, but he doesnt want to do that because he has already

pardoned the deceiver who took his position many old age ago. Prospero

then says something a little strange, but it makes sense in the context of

the story, he ask us to release [him] from [his] bands with the help of

your good hands. In other words, clap so that the sails of the boats his

friends are riding in will be safely returned and Prospero can be relieved

by prayer of the audience.

         every(prenominal) of what Prospero has said is very nice cute, but the most interesting

part of this monologue is what Shakespeare himself is saying.



Now that

my charms are all oerthrown, and what strength I haves mine own

means, now my plays are over, and its no longer my characters speaking.

The Island or stage Shakespeare is on is now bare and it is time for

you the audience to release Shakespeare and his actors from this play

with the help of [y]our good hands. Shakespeare was not only being

released for the performance of the play, he was being release from his

career as a playwright.
