Highlights from Act IV

pg. 121 l. 15-24  shakespeare's imagery of marraige as a garden bed, blessed by above with dew or weeds

pg. 125 l. 56-60  "strongest oaths are straw to th' fire i' th' blood"  fire i' th' blood=lust here but could also mean greed, revenge, etc.

pg. 131 l. l62-180  "Are melted in air, into thin air;/And like the baseless fabric of this vision...We are such stuff/As dremas are made on,..."  Meaningful!  What does it mean to you?!  (thanks for the many great responses)

pg. 135 l. 211-216  nature vs. nurture

pg. 141 l.291-295  Prospero has all the control at this point.  What will he do?!
