>racism
trite moralist concepts with no connection to reality developed by a decadent society. quit foisting on them on glorious pre-ideological peoples.

I must eat my dinner.
This island's mine, by Sycorax my mother,
Which thou takest from me. When thou camest first,
Thou strokedst me and madest much of me, wouldst give me
Water with berries in't, and teach me how
To name the bigger light, and how the less,
That burn by day and night: and then I loved thee
And show'd thee all the qualities o' the isle,
The fresh springs, brine-pits, barren place and fertile:
Cursed be I that did so! All the charms
Of Sycorax, toads, beetles, bats, light on you!
For I am all the subjects that you have,
Which first was mine own king: and here you sty me
In this hard rock, whiles you do keep from me
The rest o' the island

Read Aime Cesaire's A Tempest. It's his rewriting the play to make it about colonialism (Julie Taymor was fully aware of it when she directed the movie)

Was Othello a sub saharan african? Was Shakespeare into miscegenation?

Yes and I thought it was, so did my English Tutor.

How is racism trite?

...

I don't know what this cunt meant, I'm not well read on Shakespeare.

Prospero was depicted as a colonial tyrant to caliban, Ariel and Ferdinand; using his power to oppress them.
Caliban's monologue show anti-imperialist feelings.
And in the end caliban has learned none of the language of prospero except that used to curse him.
Also, in the end everyone leaves the island to return to where they belong.

It's about an utopia.

Please explain your views and your tutor's. Don't just shitpost.

Read Retamar's essay on Caliban and then come back.

No, Yes. Who cares?
Shut up.

>pre-ideological peoples
lel

>authorial intention
The Tempest is about what ever you want it to be about baby. If you want it to be racist it is. There's no one 'true' reading of a text, and I'm disappointed it's taken this long for someone to point this out

> The Tempest was written by Shakespeare only

> """Shakespeare"""

Where did your daddy git your tutor from?

India

Caliban was a European castaway. Read it again.
