ENG303 ENG/303 ENG 303 Week 5 Discussion/DQ Message in a Bottle ((latest))

After reading the first four acts of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, choose a character shipwrecked on the island and write a message in a bottle from that character’s perspective. Include the name of the character in the subject line of your post.

The shipwrecked characters include:

• Ferdinand - Son and heir of Alonso

• Alonso - King of Naples and father of Ferdinand

• Antonio – Prospero’s brother who unseated him as Duke of Milan

• Sebastian – Alonso’s brother who plots with Antonio to assassinate Alonso on the island

• Gonzalo - Gonzalo helped Prospero and Miranda escape from Milan

• Trinculo - A jester and a comic figure

• Stephano - A drunken butler and a comic figure

When writing your message in a bottle, you should cover the following

• How you ended up on this island and what the island looks like

• The other people with you on the island (only include those individuals you have interacted with)

• A conflict that you have had with another character on the island or yourself

• Any strange or unusual things that you have seen, heard, or otherwise experienced on the island

 

When writing your letter, please keep in mind the character’s background. A higher born character will write differently than a less educated character. This is particularly important given the emphasis that The Tempest places on the seemingly unsuccessful process of educating Caliban. Your purpose is to describe the island and your own unique situation while pleading for rescue.
