A Comparison of The and A

Explain of The and A
The Tempest is one of William Shakespeare's final plays, written around the year 1610 and considered to represent the "culmination of his career". Centered around a deposed ruler, Prospero, the play takes place exclusively on a distant island after the ship carrying the King of Naples encounters a powerful storm and the crew is forced to abandon the vessel. We find out that this is caused by the spirit Ariel, a servant of Prospero's. This in fact marks the beginning of a series of actions by Prospero to manipulate the other characters in the play towards his own end.

Aime Cesaire's A Tempest is a politicized take on Shakespeare's play created during the late sixties, a time of great social change. It is really a "postcolonial response to The Tempest " and as such deals much more with the story from the point of view of Caliban and Ariel .
