“Hell is empty,
And all the devils are here.”
“A devil, a born devil, on whose nature
Nurture can never stick; on whom my pains,
Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost;
And as with age his body uglier grows,
So his mind cankers. I will plague them all,
Even to roaring.”
Excerpt From
The Tempest
William Shakespeare

IMHO the most brilliant Shakespearean play. There is a genuine maturity not only in the writing style, but in the author's worldview as well.

this has all the bones of something i would like - complex, parallel narratives. stories of sea journeys and travel. a basic commentary on colonialism. but it just fell flat for me for some reason?
there was one scene where i was delighted by the banter and wordplay as i often am in shakespeare works, but that was really it. the rest i felt like i was sort of slogging through.
i'll revisit this some other time when my brain is better prepared for it and see if my opinion changes! (i'm sure it will tbh.)

good, but not one of Shakespeare's best. ending felt quite rushed.

‘Be not afeard. The isle is full of noises,
Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.’

انا قريتها أدب عالمي للناشئين ك قصة مش مسرحية وعجبتني جدا بس لما قرتها مسرحيه معجبتنيش اطلاقا معرفش ده بسبب الترجمه السيئه لأنطوان .. ولا بسبب ان شكسبير كان بيتفلسف زياده فيها
