The Book and the Assignment

*This is an excerpted from assignment handout  from Spring 2020.

Your Task:

Choose ONE of the following two prompts:

  • How would you assess the grievances of Caliban and Prospero, and how do our sympathies toward these characters shift or change throughout the play?
