What do the reapers symbolize, aswell as why Prospero begins to speak while they dance
Abrupt change in tone
Prejudice against working class reminds of caliban
Prospero
“Melted into air, into thin air” “baseless fabric”
Shakespeares last play- questioning life focused on theatre and reflecting on career
Exitesential mediation
Focus on insubstantiality and how power structures will dissolve
Stephano
“He takes down the garment”
Obsession with clothes shows his vanity and simple mindedness
Prospero
“Goblins” “grind their joins” “convulsions” “pinch spotted”
Imagery of pain to show the extreme punishment
Shows the chaos after external mediation
