A Tempest was an interesting read. It takes the form of a play, which is rather difficult and confusing to read if you aren't used to a play format. It bears the topics of slavery, longing for freedom, and power. It's interesting to see the difference between the slaves Ariel and Caliban. One pursues freedom through peaceful means and patience. The other is impatient and demands freedom NOW! Caliban states that he was stripped of his name and identity by his master, it would be preferable for him to be called "X" rather than Caliban. It's a unique parallel with Malcom X and Martin Luther King Jr. in this way. The end has a satisfying conclusion -I will keep from spoilers, however I will say that justice is served.
