Última obra teatral escrita en solitario por William Shakespeare (1564-1616), La tempestad pertenece a la serie de piezas de este autor que funden el ámbito de lo real con lo mágico y lo maravilloso. Próspero, duque legítimo de Milán, ha sido expulsado de su posición por su hermano y se encuentra en una isla desierta tras naufragar su buque.

I haven’t read any Shakespeare since high school, probably, so this was a long time overdue. I was inspired to read The Tempest because of a certain scene in a video game, and I saw that it wasn’t too long—how bad could it be? Shakespeare seriously humbles my understanding of English vocabulary and wordplay.

Of course the main questions are—who is this Prospero fellow and how will he effect his revenge? In that view, the ending was a bit lackluster, as it seemed fairly anticlimactic; Prospero’s fate at the end …

Mi requisito para ver, por fin, Prospero's Books de Peter Greenaway. Una maravilla de texto, con alusiones a la providencia de la magia usada para bien y sin ninguna alusión a referencias cristianas, lo cual coloca el paganismo a los pies del lector y del entonces público del teatro callejero de Shakespeare (algo que, curiosamente, se colocaba al margen de la manera en que la magia se consideraba en el Renacimiento por científicos y magos de la época). Los personajes -propios de las tragedias del autor- y el momento en que Prospero cambia su actitud frente a ellos, sobre todo, frente a su hermano, remite, por qué no, a otro mago veterotestamentario (José, que perdona la traición de sus hermanos).
