The Tempest:Ý An Exercise in Film

Ý Take a look at a film version of The Tempest from either our library collection or from your
local video store. You are free to be creative with what you consider to be a version of the play, as long
you are prepared to justify it. After you have seen the film, write up a one-page response that answers the following questions.

Was it faithful to the Shakespearian play? Why or why not?
What parts of the story did it emphasize?
What was its most effective moment and why?

As you are writing up your response, keep in mind that film and stage theater are necessarily different
media. You should mention these differences when you think they are important. Your one page response
is due in class on October 8.
