Shakespeare adds an epilogue after the resolution. In a typical epilogue, a character adds final comments on the conflict and resolution of the play. Prospero’s epilogue is different; it is a request to the audience to the audience to grant him his freedom. Over the centuries, some critics, some critics have seen this speech as a request from Shakespeare himself—the magician of the stage—to release him from his duties and let him retire. 1. (a) What emotions does Prospero convey in this passage? (b) Which lines express these emotions most strongly?

2. If Shakespeare intended the Epilogue as a personal farewell to his audiences, is this speech appropriate? Explain.

everyman: morality play

which phrase in this excerpt from the play everyman refers to god's judgment of people's souls after their death?

messenger: . .

ye think sin in the beginning full sweet,

which in( the end) causeth thy soul to weep,

when the body lieth in clay.

here shall you see how fellowship and jollity,

both strength, pleasure, and beauty,

will fade from thee as flower in may.

for ye shall hear, how our heavenly king

calleth everyman to a (general reckoning):

give audience, and hear what he doth say.

god: i perceive here in my majesty,

how that all the creatures be to me unkind,

living without dread in worldly prosperity:

of (ghostly sight) the people be so blind,

drowned in sin, they know me not for their god;

in worldly riches is all their mind,

they fear not( my righteousness), the sharp rod;

(my law that i shewed), when i for them die

hopefully this !

did you ever figure it out?
