Chasen Schneider, Levi Morger, Mitchell Kawash and Ariana Karp conclude our discussion of Act V of The Tempest. 

• We determined that we enjoy Act V more than Act IV.
• Specificity of stage directions and the overlap between ritual, theatre and religion
• Prospero’s turn from revenge to forgiveness - when does it happen and how that affects the play?
• Parallels to Marlowe’s Dr. Faustus 
• Staging choices in the modern age 
• Physical vs. Metaphysical storm
• What happens with Antonio and Sebastian? Are they repentant? Is their silence acceptance or defiance?
• Is order restored at the end of the play?
