Act One Scene Two
Posted by mitchells on April 26, 2007
The two hardest lines that I read through and actually managed to figure out are as follows;
- “Tell your piteous heart there’s no harm done“(line 16/17), this line actually means, don’t worry they won’t get hurt, this is possible to figure out if you keep reading down the page.
- “who was so firm, so constant, that his coil would not infect his reason“(line 244/245), this line actually means, who is so steady that a disturbance couldn’t effect him.
Two lines that weren’t actually hard, but just tricky to figure out;
- “It was a torment to lay upon the damned, which Sycorax could not again undo“
- “Thy nerves are in their infancy again and have no vigor in them”
Here is a few questions that were a mystery to me throughout this scene;
- Did Shakespeare believe in magic?
- Is this scene based on a myth or is it just a made up story?
- Where do most of Shakespeare’s stories come from?
