There is really very little plot in "The Tempest." There is a love story and the story of two younger brothers who covet their older brothers' titles and possessions. There is the story of Caliban's plot to murder Prospero. Really the play is about how close a comedy can be to becoming a tragedy.

This one is not my favorite Shakespeare but still was worth reading if for nothing else but the one-liners. ...more

One of my favorite of Shakespeare's plays, but I'm just not adept at reading scripts! ...more
