3.1 Dramatic Reading of Shakespeare's The Tempest

December 20, 2006

In this scene we find Ferdinand carrying wood. He enters, delivers his soliloquy and admits that he'd do anything to win the hand of this mistress. Interestingly enough, he doesn't even know her name yet!

Miranda enters (with Prospero following, but eavesdropping on thme both) and tells Ferdinand she could help him with his labor.

What is all of this about?

It is a short and sweet little scene where we get to see Ferdinand and Miranda developing their relationship, and perhaps more importantly, we watch Prospero watching them. What is the significance of this?

Enjoy!

   Long time coming

   Yan, Glad to help . . . Sorry it took so long, but I hope you like the changes. Let me know what you think.
   
   I think we'll do Midsummer next. And my Shakespeare elective will start next term, so I'll have a bevy of readers. We'll be reading The Winter's Tale in addition to Midsummer and Tempest, so look for Winter's Tale, too. One of my favs is As You Like It, so I'd like to knock that one out, and then Measure for Measure, the play that is the topic of my own diss.
   
   Hang in there on the Ph.D!
