(Mother enters)

Mother: Where do you think your going!?

Son: Where do you think I’m going?

Mother: What did I say about these protests you keep going

Son: I don’t care about what you say anymore, you cant control my life

Mother: What! You think I cant control where you go, you live under my bloody roof child. If you want anymore money or food, I suggest you stop giving me attitude and start listening to what I say. If you don’t want to get killed stay at home and don’t go to the protest.

Son: I’m going where ever I feel is right, I don’t care about money or food I care about what is right.

Act 3 scene 3 choose a line.

Sebastian [To Antonio] the next advantage we will take thoroughly

I believe Sebastian is thinking that he could over throw the king of Naples because he has lost hope in finding his son, who is the heir to the throne. Sebastian is the brother of the king of naples and if Sebastian gets rid of him he will be king.

In this scene we meet two new characters Trinculo and Stephano,we meet one more character but an old one,Caliban. What happens in this scene is, Caliban comes home late with wood. He feels scared when realises Trinculo has entered his house(cave). Trinculo hides under a cloth because he thinks Trinculo is going to torment him. Trinculo is drunk he thinks that Caliban is a fish or monster, he thinks he can make money from him, lightning strikes and scares him, he hides under the cloth. Stephano enters and he thinks that Caliban and Trinculo under the blanket are a monster and he believes he can also make money out of them, ‘if I can recover him, and keep him tame, and get to Naples with him, he’s a present for any emperor that ever trod on neat’s leather.’ Trinculo realises Stephano is his old friend who he thought had drowned. They both act as if they are gods and Caliban who is so stupid and gullible that he believes they are powerful gods. Caliban now wants to join them

In my opinion I believe that Caliban only wants to join them because if Trinculo and Stephano are powerful gods they can overpower Prospero.

The most significant character is Caliban the scene starts with him being all down and and ends with him happy with a plan to take his island back. join
