Banished from Italy, Prospero lives on a remote island with his daughter. Using his magic, he vows to seek revenge on the injustice dealt to him by his brother, but in doing so Shakespeare questions the difficulty of distinguishing 'men' from 'monsters', and the realities of justice.
George Brandes Books
Georg Brandes was a Danish literary critic and theorist who profoundly influenced Scandinavian and European literature. In the 1870s, he articulated the principles of realism and naturalism, rejecting ahistorical writing. He believed literature should serve as an organ for the great thoughts of liberty and the progress of humanity. His vision launched the movement known as the 'Modern Breakthrough'.
