Miranda..

The Tempest has many captivating characters; after all I can not relate my self to any of the characters in Shakespeare play.How ever the character that caught my attention would have to be Miranda.

Miranda was a great daughter to her father Prospero, very obedient I must say. Even though she never had the dignity to stand up for her rights nor did she ever have a say, she always seemed to live in a box. It was not her fault, since she only grew up in a world aware of only her father and a beast.Prospero always raised her as almost being a queen Miranda, did not know of what other way to live.She was very limited as if the Island she lived on , she could never leave it because she did not know what else is out there.

It is very disappointing that a female had to live such a reserved life, especially being the only female in the play. My sympathies goes out to Miranda's character. I would never want to live a life that my own father would choose all my decisions, life is all about chances and discoveries and thrill.Living in a island that all you could go by is what your father decides for you; must be very depressing.However her character played a role in the play very well and her message went out clearly to the audience in a affirmative matter.
