Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 49, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 February 1911 — “The Tempest." [ARTICLE]

“The Tempest."

“The Tempest" may be called the play of the tapper and lower sides of human nhture; the battle of intellect, conscience and spiritual aspiration against brute passion and appetite. Its leading character, Prospero. typifies the “better things,” while the lower' are set forth in Caliban, Trinculo. Stephano, et ml. Ariel is mereby the reflection of Prospero, the materialization, as It were, of his allconquering mind and spirit; -and Proapern himself is a reflection of the mental and spirtual in the universal humanity. Prospero wins, not only against the storm. Just as the brain and conscience of humanity- arc eventually to triumph over the forces of nature without us and the forces of the animal within us.
