Every piece of writing that we read in are life time relates to something some how. When reading the book The Tempest by William Shakespeare it made me think back to my LAS 101 class. In this class we learned about the morals of life and the Franciscan values. One of the things we talked about in the class was the value of not letting power get to your head. When we were discussing this topic in class, we came to a conclusion that people tend to abuse the power they have. When reading the tempest Prospero took advantage of her powers. Yes she was using her powers for good but she had too much power that I feel she began to lose control. Does someone need to have the power to control other?
Thinking back to the class there was a lot of debate on whether or not people need to have power and what it would be like if people all had the same amount of power or no power at all. The tempest shows that power for one is not a benefit for all. What do you think? What do you think you would do if you had all the power in the world at your dispense? How would you act?
