I tried reading this a few years ago but got confused. Then I tried again this week. It's good but I wouldn't say this was one of Shakespeare's best. This was one of the last plays that Shakespeare wrote himself. I've heard rumors that Francis Bacon wrote his plays. But something tells me the guy was a genius and people are reluctant to give him all the credit. This play concerns a magician who raises a tempest and leaves a group of people shipwrecked on an island. There are many themes within the play like family for example Miranda, Prospero's daughter and Prospero's own family. Another theme is revenge with Prospero wanting to get revenge on his brother Antonio for taking over his position. It's too bad the movie with Helen Mirren is supposed to be bad.
