La Tempête

William Shakespeare

1918

British Literature, Classics of Literature, Plays/Films/Dramas

Translated by François Guizot

La Tempête, written by William Shakespeare in the early 17th century, is a tragicomedy that explores themes of power, betrayal, and redemption. The play follows Prospero, a sorcerer and the rightful Duke of Milan, who seeks revenge against those who wronged him while navigating his relationship with his daughter Miranda and the spirit Ariel. Set on a mysterious island, the narrative begins with a violent storm that shipwrecks Alonso, the King of Naples, and his companions, leading to a series of encounters that reveal deep familial and political dynamics. This work is notable for its innovative use of theatrical elements and its reflection on the nature of art and the role of the playwright.

“What's past is prologue.””

— William Shakespeare

“Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.””

— William Shakespeare

“Me, poor man, my libraryWas dukedom large enough.””

“O, wonder!How many goodly creatures are there here!How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,That has such people in't!””

“Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.Sometimes a thousand twangling instrumentsWill hum about mine ears; and sometime voices,That, if I then had waked after long sleep,Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,The clouds methought would open, and show richesReady to drop upon me; that, when I waked,I cried to dream again.””

— William Shakespeare

“Full fathom five thy father lies;Of his bones are coral made;Those are pearls that were his eyes:Nothing of him that doth fade,But doth suffer a sea-changeInto something rich and strange.Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell: Ding-dong Hark! now I hear them,”

— William Shakespeare

“This thing of darkness IAcknowledge mine.””

— William Shakespeare
