Act V Summary by part I and part II The Tempest Ward period 2
 * The Tempest Act 5, Scene 1 Summary **
 * Prospero asks about King Alonso and his attendants. Ariel informs his master that the shipwrecked group is a pitiful sight: the three traitors (Alonso, Antonio, and Sebastian) are distracted and the rest are mourning. Ariel says Prospero's feelings toward the group would become tender at the sight and Ariel would cry...if he were human.
 * Hearing Ariel speak so kindly, with mercy befitting a human, Prospero says he'll put his thirst for vengeance aside and be merciful. He sends Ariel to free the traitors and the rest of their crew from their confusion, and draws a magic circle with his staff (his big magical stick).
 * As Ariel leaves him, Prospero muses on all that he has done with his potent art of magic, and solemnly says that once this last task is done, he'll break his staff and bury it in the earth, and drown his book in the ocean. In other words, the guy is giving up his magic.
 * Ariel arrives, dragging behind him a frantic Alonso, Gonzalo, Sebastian, and Antonio, with their attendant lords Adrian and Francisco. They all stand in Prospero's magic circle, charmed, as Prospero addresses each of them.
 * He speaks to Gonzalo first, and tears up as he thanks him for being his "true preserver" and remaining so loyal to whomever he serves.
 * Prospero then chides King Alonso for treating him and Miranda so poorly, and says Sebastian, too, suffers for wronging them.
 * Finally, Prospero comes to his terrible brother Antonio. Prospero reveals that Antonio plotted with Sebastian to murder the King, but forgives them all.
 * Prospero then notes that the group may not recognize him (which is kind of a bummer, as they don't know how gracious he's being, given how bad they were to him). Prospero then asks Ariel to bring his hat and sword, so they might know that the man before them is the old, genuine Duke of Milan.
 * As Ariel dresses Prospero, the airy spirit sings another pretty little song and Prospero notes, though he will miss Ariel, the spirit will surely soon have his freedom. All Ariel needs to do is bring the sleeping mariners (remember them?) from their ship to this spot.
 * Alonso and all the shipwrecked gang look on, unsure whether this is more enchantment, or if it's really Prospero before them. Alonso, struck, immediately returns Prospero's dukedom and asks for Prospero's forgiveness. Alonso also wants to know how Prospero survived and ended up on this island. (Did he tie together a fleet of sea turtles? Build a raft out of human bones?)
 * Prospero turns then to Gonzalo, praising him again before getting back to Antonio and Sebastian.
 * Prospero says he could say some things that would raise a couple of eyebrows, but out of the kindness of his heart, he will keep them to himself. The pair of traitors is not even a bit ashamed or sorry. Sebastian claims the Devil speaks in Prospero, but Prospero ignores this, and instead wholeheartedly forgives his traitorous brother Antonio.
 * King Alonso brings up the loss of his son, Ferdinand, and Prospero cryptically says he has lost his daughter – they've lost both children on account of the tempest. The story of how all of this came to be, he says, is not the kind of thing that can be discussed over a single sitting, but over the course of long days. In the meantime, they can entertain themselves with other things.
 * Perhaps, for instance, they'd like to take a look in Prospero's humble cell?
 * Prospero draws back the curtain to his home and reveals Ferdinand and Miranda, who happen to be playing chess.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Alonso and Ferdinand are pleasantly surprised to find each other alive, and Miranda, faced with so many men for the first time, declares "O, wonder! / How many goodly creatures are there here! / How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world / That has such people in't!" (The writer Aldous Huxley liked this so much that he chose the phrase "brave new world" as the [|title of his famous book].)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Alonso points out that Ferdinand can't have known the girl he's playing chess with for more than three hours, but hears the surprising news that the girl is his new daughter-in-law, three hours or no.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Gonzalo, Alonso, and all the other "good" guys are overjoyed with the news.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Ariel then enters on cue with the boatswain from the first scene, who happily announces that not only are all the sailors alive, but the ship is good as new. Like magic.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Alonso, meanwhile, thinks they should consult an oracle about how on earth all of this very strange stuff has happened, but Prospero tells him to relax. He assures Alonso that he'll explain everything eventually, and for now they should just enjoy the moment.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Finally, Prospero tells Ariel to free Caliban and his companions from the whole "being savagely hunted by hounds" spell. Stefano, Trinculo, and Caliban enter, the former two in Prospero's stolen clothes.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Alonso claims Stefano as his drunken butler, and Prospero claims Caliban as his own slave-begotten-of-a-witch-and-the-Devil. There's some punning on being in a pickle, and Prospero, in a merciful mood, demands that Caliban take his friends and go to work tidying up the cell, if he wants forgiveness.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Caliban relents that he was, as we suspected, a "thrice-double ass" to take this drunkard Stefano for a god. The three exit to prepare Prospero's cell.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Prospero invites Alonso and everyone back to his place, where they'll be treated to Prospero's long life story.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Prospero promises that in the morning they'll all go on the newly fixed ship to Naples. Once there, Prospero hopes to see the children married, and then head back to Milan, "where every third thought shall be my grave."
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Alonso glosses over this happy little sentiment by saying he looks forward to Prospero's autobiography.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Prospero promises tomorrow will bring them favorable weather (and no more tempests!). He leaves Ariel the final task (yes, this is like, his sixth final task) of seeing to the weather, and after that the spirit is finally free.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Prospero sends everyone into his home, and then speaks directly to the audience.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">In the play's final speech, Prospero informs the audience that the only thing that can free him from the island prison and send him to Naples is the audience's applause and approval.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">P.S. Some literary critics think that this speech is Shakespeare the playwright's way of saying "so long" to the theater. If you want to know more about this, go to "[|Symbolism]."

[|Out of the Labyrinth: The Tempest - Act V - A final discussion]
Submitted by scotese on Fri, 2008-08-01 10:43 A final class discussion of Shakespeare's play, //The Tempest//. There are a lot of things that we need to finish - ideas that we began in the beginning of our discussion that are reaching fruition. Why does Prospero bring these people to the island? Why does he give up his power -- and that great ambiguous line about his claim to "this thing of darkness."

DBQ activity for Friday, 3-30-12 OVERVIEW:

Verb: Combine (a number of things) into a coherent whole.
I. In small groups of 4 students you will sit and work on categorizing the 8 documents from the DBQ packet into categories of:

HUMANISM [|Humanism] PRINTING PRESS [|The Bible and the printing press] IF you are using the printing press, be sure to pull up an image of Shakespeare's folio as another document as evidence! PERSPECTIVE (see Scholastic Art magazine, March 2012, //Perspective: The Renaissance to Richard Estes//) [|Brunelleschi's Architecture] [|Brunelleschi's experiment] OIL PAINTING RETURN OF GREEK AND ROMAN (ANTIQUITY) IDEAS [|Classical Art and Ideas] SECULARISM (GOING BEYOND THE CHURCH) SCIENTIFIC REASONING, HELIOCENTRIC THEORY AND COPERNICAN THEORY [|Beyond Galileo] [|Leonardo da Vinci's letter] [|Leonardo da Vinci's Deluge Theory]

II. With your team of students with the purpose of understanding how to synthesize the documents and compare how each value or idea illustrates the Renaissance values or ideas.

III. How did the sorting activity increase your understanding of the DBQ process? How can use this understanding in your synthesis/DBQ essay!

IV.
 * After all this analysis, how useful is the primary source as evidence in the argument I am trying to construct?**
 * ARE YOU READY FOR THE APPARTS Technique; this acronym refers to a set of prompts (Author, Place and time, Prior knowledge, Audience, Reason, The main idea, and Significance). This is used as a means to help you udnerstand how a prarticular source can be used to make a point or support an argument.**

V.
 * HLOG#10 will be the Literacy Benchmark we complete in class on Wednesday, 3-28-12; we will return to revising the DBQ essay on Renaissance values or ideas! More to follow..**
