v Introduction:-

 

We all know that Shakespeare was a talented man. And his talent seems to be in his works. Here we will mainly discuss his play "The Tempest". Sounds like the story of a king with magical powers when we first read it. But after reading its critics we find out how it shows the dominance of power over small acquaintances, or we can say without sound. Primarily Caliban lives without sound. Caleb did not speak out against the officers. Thus, in this play we find colonialism. We can study this play from different angles like postcolonial, feminism. In the manner of this play, we will discuss the cultural conflict, the discourses among the characters, and the coordination of this play. It is good to see the relationship between master and slave and how the author has portrayed it. Indeed, it is the structure and hierarchy of political consensus that redefines Shakespeares play The Tempest, referring to Aim Caesar, and here we are also going to discuss the differences between the two plays. The play deals with the fact of imperialism in dealing with colonialism. Some changes have been made by Aim Caesar which states the fact of colonial study.

 

 

v A tempest as a colonial text:

 

 

A Tempest is the third play in the trilogy aimed at advancing the principles of the neglected movement. It is written by Shakespeare as The Postcolonial Response to The Tempest. The story is the same; A great storm, an angry duke who has been swallowed up by his brother, all the devoted courtiers and natives. The play deals mostly with the natives; Ariel and Caliban. It is Caesarean's common denominator on the colonization of the "new world". He had many CLRs with similar ideas. Is. James and Frantz Fanon, and he has inspired new Caribbean writers like Michelle Cliff. It’s a postcolonial revision of The Tempest and it draws heavily on the original play. The roles of the characters, for the most part, follow the same and the same basic premise as the plot.

 

 

Prospero: bravo, good work! But what seems to be the matter? I give you a compliment and you don't seem pleased? Are you tired?

 

Ariel: not tired; disgusted. I obeyed you but - well, why not come out with it? - I did so most unwillingly. It was a Real pity to see that great ship go down, so full of life.

 

Prospero: oh, so you're upset, is you! It's always like that with you intellectuals! A/ho cares! What interest me are not your moods, but your deeds. Let's split: I’ll take the zeal and you can keep your doubts. Agreed?

 

Ariel: Master, I must beg you to spare me this kind of Labour.(Amie , Cesaire;)

 

Here we see the proper care and how he talks about calm, natural and aerial and does them well. But in different stories about the black slave K Cal Liban, he hates her and does not agree with K Cal Lib’s thoughts and K Cal Lib feels that he is married to Miranda and has not left his master Prospero. In the postcolonial it seems that we are talking about Amy Caesar's thoughts about it when during the role of the last act Prospero says about Cal Lib about no, you are Negro, your language is bad; Are you caliban Cal Lib talks not what I don't call Cal Lib. We can see that the rays of postcolonial noise are far away and how Caliban speaks that I am not Caliban and Negro. He is a colonizer. Cal Liban says he calls me X, and he also says where there is a name without a man. We can see that the Caliban subaltern sound does not suppress them and how the other character in the play is marginalized. The hurricane in ‘Eshu’ has Mother God and inspiration, how Prospero gives ideas, God for Kaliban and the black devil of God. In Amy's thoughts and how Caliban has the center of the play and Shakespeare's play 'The Tempest' is in the margins of Cal Liban and he becomes a rebel of black slaves and Prospero. It’s not Caliban’s fault here but Prospero’s fault and how white men think about that black man is devilish and evil it could be that his mind is already black considering evil. Prospero has a colonizer and he is a rebel of society. And Calib has thwarted them for Prospero's revolt, and he keeps them alive.

 

 

Let’s get to the next point now and that’s the master-slave thing. So here we go to see some dialogues;

 

PROSPERO: Oh, so you're upset, are you! It's always like that with intellectuals! So be it! What interests me is not your moods, but your deeds. Let's split: I’ll take the zeal and you can keep your doubts. Agreed?

ARIEL: Master, I must beg you to spare me this kind of labor.

PROSPERO: (shouting) Listen, and listen well! I've got a job to do, and I don't care how it gets done!

ARIEL: You've promised me my freedom a thousand times, and I'm still waiting. (Cesaire)

Here we see how his slave is treated by Ariel Master Prospero. That mentality is also made up of slaves and rebelling against this anxiety is the only thing being made. But if understanding works and the slave realizes that his master is dependent on him.

 

              Many critics believe that Caesar's version of The Tempest is about the relationship between colonizer and colonization and the struggle for absolute power. In the play, Prospero is the master of two men named Cal Lib and Na and Ariel. Prospero is a colonist and both Kal Liban and Ariel try to get their independence from him. Cal Lib's approach to independence is through rebellion while Ariel seeks to "appeal to its moral end conscience." In the end, the Caliban uprising fails. In his final speech, Cal Cal lied to Prospero with him and put him down. The best example of this is the rejection of colonization. Here is an excerpt from Cal Liban's final speech.

 

 

v Conclusion:

 

Near the end of the game, Prospero sends all the lieutenants from the island to find a place in Naples for his daughter Miranda and her husband Ferdinand. When the caravan tells him to go, Prospero refuses and claims that the island cannot stand without him; In the end, only he and Caliban remain. As Prospero continues his grip on the island, Cal Liban's freedom song can be heard in the background. Thus, Caesar leaves his audience to consider the lasting effects of colonization. Thus we can say that somehow this play gives an abundance of value to postcolonialism. However, this play is a matter of debate. And Aim Caesarea provides an effect on the play and explains it as the play progresses with an extension of thought or reality. My effort on this paper is ultimately justified by looking at it from all angles and giving a short perspective.
