the tempest preparation

In discussions of The Tempest, the traditional view is whether Shakespeares writings were addressing imperialism or not, if there was a message hidden in The Tempest concerning his veiws about conquering other lands or "white imperialism", However, there may be other ways to think about this text. For one thing, Aime Cesaire's A Tempest  explains that The tempest doesnt have to be so serious and there can be humor throughout the piece. During our discussion in class we all saw the humorous side to the story that Cesaire wrote, this made me see hoe fuuny the play could have been and i liked Cesaires version much better, Stephen Greenblatt also contends that when he states that literature is not political and should be enjoyed as literature not as a hidden imperialist opinion.

I think his opinion was more accurate even though while reading I like to read something and delve into the deeper meaning of what the author was trying to say, that expands your knowledge of literature and the text you reading which helps you become a better writer and reader, so I guess im in the middle of both opinions, but sometimes its just better to enjoy the writing for its external meaning.Therefore, taking these positions into account, we can see that Through The Tempest we see that literature can be read in a serious tone and looked at as political or, we can have some humor in these writings and just enjoy his work as if it were a painting or a musical number.
