Matthew- the old man appeared strong and aggresive
Chloe- agrees with matthew POV
Bianni-the woman looked more demanding and the old man looked lay back.
Cece- agrees with bianni POV “In this way Prospero imiates god…”
Andy-Gods gender is never offically stated, and the woman looks more aggresive and powerful.
Jorge- Prospero is calm because he has the power and knows that is over his servants. His power is represented in uses of his words.
Cece- A god is ones POV
Bianni- A woman playing a male role shows the time period change
Jorge- The island in the images looked very isolated.
Bianni- Agrees to Jorge. Makes the scene looks more suspenceful. The island had more of a darker mood.
Andy- How is it relvatant to modern day?
Matthew-Prospero had an opiphany and a change of heart toward his servant
Jorge- Prospero was set to die. He has all right to be reventful. His has the art of using potential. Prospero is shown as a father figure, and a role model after the vengence.
CeCe-thinks prospero has always kindness
Andy- Caliban is a metaphor how 17th century Europeans treated native individuals they incountered on caribbean island.
Bianni- Main conflict is between Prospero and the person that over threw him
Ivan- he forgave but didn’t forget
Jorge- doesnt think venegence isn’t apart of this.(ties back to the orignal question) it should be studied in educational studies
Matthew- prospero is portrayed under the description of god.(ties back to the original question) It should not be studies in educational setting because of the strong ties in cultural differences.
