A powerpoint for senior pupils to support a comparative study of ‘The Winter’s Tale’ and ‘The Tempest’. It focuses on the spectrum of power: the gulf between tyranny and impotence, with Leontes and Prospero initially characterising these polarised traits.
Concludes with some reflection on the theme of redemption as explored in Shakespeare’s later plays.
An excellent resource for studying the theme of power, kingship and authority.
It also draws connections to King James 1 treaty: Basilikon Doron and his reflections on ideal kingship.
