About The Tempest
GoConqr OriginalWhat you will find
This unit sits in the Shakespeare strand of Literature. It brings together work from over 140 contributors, and the resources cover the play from several angles: plot, characters, themes, context and criticism. Exams mentioned across the resources include GCSE English Literature, A-level English Literature and HSC English.
Where to start
Begin with the mind map The Tempest for context. It covers the Age of Discovery, the world of James I, the Renaissance and humanism. Then open Characters in The Tempest to see who is who: Prospero, exiled Duke of Milan, his daughter Miranda and the rest. For the opening of the play, try The Tempest: Act 1 Scene 1, which looks at how the storm creates disorder and spectacle.
Themes and ideas
- The Tempest Key Themes asks whether the play is an allegory and whether Prospero stands for God.
- Tempest themes quotes groups quotations under illusion and deception, nature versus nurture, confinement and freedom, and compassion and forgiveness.
- PROSPERO: Character Profile looks closely at his speech about dreams and sleep.
- The Tempest Critical Interpretation includes a feminist reading of Miranda and Sycorax.
Quotations and criticism
The flashcard decks are good for learning lines. The Tempest Key Quotations pairs lines from Prospero and Ariel, while THE TEMPEST CRITICS tests you on critics' views of Caliban, Miranda and Sycorax. Tempest A05 has statements about Prospero's power and legitimacy that you can use when planning essay points.
Using maps and quizzes together
Read a mind map first, then close it and try the quiz called Tempest Key Quotes to see what stuck. Go back to the map for anything you missed. Teachers can pick a map or deck to set as a starting point for a lesson or homework. Choose one resource today and see where it takes you.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map The Tempest, which sets out the context: the Age of Discovery, the world of James I and Renaissance ideas. After that, Characters in The Tempest gives a quick overview of who is who, and The Tempest Key Themes helps you see the big questions.
What do the flashcard decks cover?
They cover key quotations, critics, themes and individual characters. The Tempest Key Quotations pairs lines from Prospero and Ariel. THE TEMPEST CRITICS asks about views on Caliban, Miranda and Sycorax. There are also decks on power, colonisation, the supernatural and compassion and forgiveness.
Are there quizzes on this page?
Yes, there are 3 quizzes. Tempest Key Quotes is the one to try for the play's lines, and there are also two general practice quizzes. Use them after reading a mind map, so you can spot which characters or themes need another look.
Which exams do these resources suit?
The resources mention GCSE English Literature, A-level English Literature and HSC English. Nearly all of them are at secondary level. Check each map or deck against what your own course asks for, since the resources were made by GoConqr users and vary in focus.
Are the resources free, and who made them?
Every resource listed here is free to open and study, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
What if I cannot find what I need?
Look through related mind maps, such as the ones on context, characters or Act 1, as they often cover the same ground in a different way. If a topic is still missing, you can make your own map or deck and shape it around your course.
