Tempest reflections

Initial thoughts: why is forbidden love so alluring? Because Prosper wants his daughter to fall in love with Ferdinand, he basically forbids it. "Silence! One word more Shall make me chide thee, if not hate thee. What an advocate for an impostor?" It reminded me of Scrubs, season 2, when Turk helps Dr. Cox get a date with Turk's med student by forbidding any romance between the two. At first, Dr. Cox had a "What??!!!" kind of look on his face, but then Turk asks him, "Dude, do you know like any girls at all?" or something like that. Next scene, the girl shows up at Dr. Cox's apartment and she totally wants him. What a great show.
Similarities between it and FW. . .I guess the word play is interesting. Pg. 157 in FW when they go at each other
-- Unuchorn!
-- Ungulant!
-- Uvuloid!
-- Uskybeak!
And Act II
"The old cock"
"The cockeral"
Done. The wager?
A laughter.
A match!
They're both about plerosis, filling up. And I think the action is twisty and turny like a river. There's so much going on. It's like a soap opera, with all the intrigue. I think that could be why it's so appealing with audiences today. Drama in any form is always relevant and interesting. We just can't help ourselves; it's so delicious.
