cagebox 's review for:

The Tempest by William Shakespeare
4.0

4.5/5 The Tempest is one of my favorite of Shakespeare's plays and my favorite of his comedies. The Tempest isn't that much of a comedy, rather it seems to me it is considered a comedy only because it is not a tragedy or a history. It reads a lot like one of his tragedies with the main difference being everyone does not die at the end. It's entertaining and fun but loses points because the villains of the play aren't punished for their actions or grow from their misdeeds. The emptiness of the character growth or repercussions of Antonio and Sebatian felt like a big miss and almost ruins the ending.
