Phonetic symbolism

a sound communicates without being understood
tiny, teeny

6/18

The Tempest Cluster

good guys and bad guys

good

Miranda
Ferdinand

Bad

alonso
prospero
antonio
sebastian

*Retelling of all other shakspere writings
-last play
-based on all comedies, tradgidy, and romance

shows bad relationship between brothers

Caliban rearranged in retellings in anagram

Gonzalo put survival needs into boat for prospero
- take away prosperos books to kill him

proserpo is stage manager

no storm at all, just in their heads by prospero's magic
No Tempest!

alkami

anamnsesis
we already possess perfect and complete knowledge we just forgot it all
have someone help you remember

6/20

Ariel is special effects manager

hour glass is referenced in this story

Plagorized speech from metamohisis in the tempest

Miranda and Ferdinand playing chess at the end

06/22

Hamlet cluster

hamlet has the most ? of any play
iambic pentameter with no ending ryhme - blank verse

simple words in shakspere, to be or not to be
mono syllables

remember
very important in Hamlet and Tempest

06/25

domestic farse:
married people all kinds of silly things going on

falstaff is scapegoat figure

Hamlet speaks siloqueys

3 things in life:
saying, doing, seeing

Grave scene
digger only one in play that can keep up with hamlet's sarcasim

night-sea journey
hamlet sees the world differently since his trip, just like wizard of oz

"Let it be" Hamlets' last speech
