    What does Prospero promise to do?

    • Cure everyone of sickness

    • Protect everyone

    • Give up magic

    • Kill his enemies

    Correct Answer
    A. Give up magic
    Explanation
    Prospero promises to give up magic. This means that he will renounce his powers and abilities associated with magic. By making this promise, Prospero is indicating his willingness to let go of his control and manipulation over others through magic. This decision may be driven by a desire to prioritize personal growth, relationships, or a sense of responsibility towards others. Giving up magic could symbolize Prospero's transformation and his choice to embrace a different path in life.

    Prospero does not forgive those who have injured him.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Prospero's character in Shakespeare's play "The Tempest" undergoes a transformation throughout the story. At the beginning, he seeks revenge against those who have wronged him, but by the end, he chooses to forgive his enemies instead. This change is evident in his treatment of Alonso, Antonio, and Caliban. Prospero ultimately realizes that forgiveness is a more powerful and fulfilling path than seeking vengeance. Therefore, the statement that Prospero does not forgive those who have injured him is false.

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes

    Caliban does repent for plotting to murder Prospero. In Shakespeare's play "The Tempest," Caliban initially allies with two other characters, Stephano and Trinculo, in a plot to kill Prospero. However, as the play progresses, Caliban realizes the error of his ways and expresses remorse for his actions. He acknowledges Prospero's power and authority and seeks forgiveness for his treachery. This change of heart demonstrates Caliban's repentance for his plot against Prospero.

    Who has to release Prospero from the island?

    • The island's owner

    • Miranda

    • The audience

    • Alonso

    Correct Answer
    A. The audience
    Explanation
    The question is referring to the character Prospero from the play "The Tempest" by William Shakespeare. In the context of the play, Prospero is a sorcerer who has been exiled to the island and seeks to regain his freedom. The audience is the one who has the power to release Prospero from the island because their applause and approval at the end of the play symbolizes his redemption and freedom.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Does Alonso put up a fight when Prospero claims his dukedom?

    • No

    • Yes

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    Alonso does put up a fight when Prospero claims his dukedom. This is evident in Shakespeare's play "The Tempest" when Alonso, the King of Naples, initially refuses to acknowledge Prospero's claim and attempts to resist his authority. Alonso is shown to be defiant and unwilling to surrender his power, leading to a conflict between him and Prospero. Therefore, the correct answer is "Yes".
