Act 1 Scene 2 - Miranda and Ferdinand

Miranda and Ferdinand - Line 375 - end of scene


Ferdinand - vulnerable, sympathy, attractive, young, lost, confused, alone - creates sympathy


Song - eerie, creates tension, other worldly, hypnotic, magical


Reaction to the island

• Ferdinand is in awe doesn't see it as hostile
• The island changes depending on who you are

Prospero wants them to get together and then stops it

• "They are both in either’s powers, but this swift business
  I must uneasy make lest too light winning
  Make the prize light."
• Adds value - makes them want to do it even more
• Adds suspense, tension, conflict

"I might call him a thing divine..."
=> Naivety - curious, hypnotised by him


"It goes on as my soul prompts it."
=> Not entirely natural - staged


"At first sight they have changed eyes."
=> Congratulates Ariel as if has something to do with it


Checking her virginity - confident of himself


"There's nothing ill can dwell in such a temple."
=> Naïve, shallow, childlike innocence


"Space enough have I in such a prison"
=> Hyperbole of love
