The Tempest &
Hag-Seed

There are many clear parallels between The Tempest and Hag-Seed, especially among the characters and major plot points. This pattern of characterisation is a significant resonance and therefore demonstrates the enduring relevance of Shakespeare’s original text and its themes. 

​

Your understanding of the specific resonances and dissonances will however be largely informed by your own understanding of the texts’ use of language and their contexts. 

​

Nonetheless, some common ideas that students explore in their body paragraphs, and that you may find inspiration from, are as follows: Imprisonment, grief, power and vengeance.
