I really dig the overall vibe and the magical elements. I also find interesting the epilogue and the way it relates with the theme of slavery and freedom. Just like Caliban and Ariel were Prospero's slaves looking for freedom, he tells the audience in the epilogue to free him, as if he were their slave, too.
Besides, i like reflecting on the intricate meaning of the play. Not only seeing it as a pastoral play, but as a text with a heavy colonial context.
