Not entirely sure how to feel about this one: I can't give it a higher rating than Macbeth, although the plot is much more to my taste in terms of violence. Prospero is simply confusing: Shakespeare writes his moral ambiguity perfectly; Miranda is every inch the sheltered daughter. Shakespeare does advocate controversial views on colonialism in this play (definitely a product of his time), as Caliban is forced into slavery, but he is also an attempted racist and a savage... I definitely have mixed feelings overall.
