Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can understand and consider the power dynamics between Prospero and Miranda in relation to contemporary patriarchal society.

Show transcript
In Shakespeare’s time, daughters were expected to obey their fathers. Prospero hides Miranda’s backstory from her which shows how controlling he is. Prospero intends for Ferdinand and Miranda to fall in love. While Miranda seems to disobey Prospero to fight for Ferdinand, she is actually unwittingly following Prospero’s plan.
