Creating a storm
- Stage directions - 'thunder and lighting'
- 'the clipped economy of the prose generates urgency' "fall to yarely"
- Realistic
'With the entry of the royal passengers there is a clash of language, manners, and priorities which serves to establish the personalities of most of the characters of the play'
- Alonso's courtesy is out of place - "Good boatswain, have care."
- Gonzalo's insistence on decorum - "remember who though has aboard"
- All men are equal at a time like this
- Boatswain is the only one with power
- Sebastian and Antonia blame the sailors "Hang, cur, hang, you whoreson insolent noisemaker!" (Antonio)
- Gonzalo retains a cheerful good humour "He'll be hang'd yet, Though every of water swear against it"
