The Primitive and the Civilized in Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses the world of Shakespeare’s play “The Tempest.” The spectacle and exotic setting of “The Tempest” serve as the real story more than any sense of a strongly developed plot. It is the nuance of plot involving the rivalry, status, and comparison of the wild and “primitive” world compared to the “civilized” world that serves as the focus of this paper. Throughout the play, it is clear that civilization is not necessarily a positive influence on the human animal. What is ultimately seen in “The Tempest’ is the wide range of attributes that can be associated with both the concept of civilization as well as that of the so-called “natural” realm. No secondary sources.
