The major European powers contending for the new world were Spain, France, and Great Britain. Each brought new and foreign items for trade, sale, and war to the savage land, with all three being among the most modern civilizations of the time it would it come down to brains not brawn for the prize of the Americas. Spain being the first on land had somewhat of an upper hand on the competition the Spanish brought steel, gunpowder, horses, dogs, slavery, Roman Catholicism, communicable diseases, and Spanish architecture.

The Tempest was written during a period in History where European ambition to explore and expand was beginning to take place; because of the interest in the new world and its people, many different types of views and misconceptions of the aboriginal people formed in the minds of not only of the explorers but of the thousands of people in Europe. In Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Shakespeare was able to create a metaphor for English expansionism in America by creating the character, Caliban representing the Natives and Prospero as his master representing the Europeans. With the relationship between Caliban and Prospero the audience or reader was able to see the misconceptions that the Europeans had formed on the Natives of being savages and barbaric. Throughout the 16th and 17th century, Europeans view on Native Americans is very similar if not exactly the same way Caliban was viewed in The Tempest by Prospero as being a savage and uncivilized. Throughout the play Shakespeare repeatedly describes Caliban as a monstrous and disgusting thing to the extent that almost every character in the play says something negative having to do with him.

To continue Kesey expression through strong-willed lead roles who differentiate from the crowd, he created the character of Randle Patrick McMurphy, to showcase his own rebellious ideas into, “a defiant man in a madhouse where madness was the only affirming and clarifying response to the dehumanizing tyranny of an authority figure” (Great American Trip). Though the use of psychedelic drugs contributed to Keseys expression, he states that, “Drugs don’t create characters or stories any more than pencils do. They are merely instruments that help get them on the page” (Ken Kesey). It is in this novel that Kesey sets out to relay his ideas that he lives his life through. He first begins by constructing a setting of societal influence, a mental hospital.
Genre research History The typical content of a history play would involve specific content in regards to what period of time in which the play is set. Shakespeare for example wrote many historical plays based on the lives of English kings. Shakespeare lived under the reign of Queen Elizabeth I so his plays are often regarded as Tudor propaganda because they often celebrate the founders of the Tudors. One of Shakespeare’s many historical plays was All is True, based on the life of Henry VIII of England. The play takes us through Henry’s life from his divorce of Katherine of Aragon to his marriage to Anne Boleyn.

Lennie was described as a huge monster in the book, so the thought was that he was completely out of the ordinary, but when I watched the movie Lennie was just big but he was not out of the ordinary. I felt that the movie was great and it was a lot better than the book. It made me understand things more than the book because it was a visual type of thing. It is horrible that their plan could not follow through and that George had to kill Lennie. The movie wasn’t as dramatic as the book, but I bet it still made an affect on different people.
The theme of paternalism resonates in The Tempest through Shakespeare’s vivid portrayal of the protagonist Prospero exercising authority and control over various characters in the play, specifically Miranda, Caliban and Ferdinand, like a puppeteer over his subjects in hopes of achieving what he believes to be the best outcome. Such manipulation is the very essence of Prospero in The Tempest as he deftly maneuvers his subjects so as to fulfill his penultimate goal in the final scene - to restore his political might which he lost to Antonio who underhandedly usurped his throne twelve years ago. We see the prominence of paternalism displayed in Act 1 Scene 2 where Prospero engages his daughter in a conversation about the circumstances which led to their current state. He starts off the discourse very patiently as a father would to his beloved daughter, asking her tenderly if she remembers “A time before we (they) came unto this cell”. He goes on to ask her if she recalls “any other house or person” to which Miranda replies that her memory is hazy.
