Comment on the love relationship between Ferdinand and Miranda in The Tempest. / What is the major theme of The Tempest? With what success has the theme been presented in terms of drama?
The major theme of The Tempest seems to be the love affair between Ferdinand and Miranda which culminates in their marriage at the end of the play. The love-affair between Ferdinand and Miranda is a creation of Prospero's potent art (Magic) and it develops according to his prearranged scheme. Ferdinand and Miranda fall utterly in love at first sight, as has been Prospero's intention. However, to prevent this love affair from developing too rapidly, Prospero becomes rough and unfriendly to Ferdinand, disarms him by his magic, and puts him to work at the menial task of piling logs. This serves only to increase Miranda's love and admiration for the Prince. Love completely masters her soul and she pleads for Ferdinand with a perfect grace of feeling and imagination when her father charges the Prince as a spy and a traitor.
Later on we find Ferdinand entering with a log, declaring that his labour is a pleasure since he serves Miranda. Miranda comes to cheer him up and to tell him that her father is hard at work in his study and will be for the next three hours. She does not know, however, that her father is wearing his cloak of invisibility and is standing close behind her. She asks Ferdinand to rest, while she does a turn, at his work. Of course, he will not hear of this. Ferdinand asks her name so that he may mention it in his prayers.....................................................................................................................................................
