The Tempest
The Student Survival Edition🌀 Magic. Wine. Betrayal. Daddy issues. Welcome to Shakespeare’s island holiday gone wrong.
When Prospero — exiled Duke and full-time control freak — decides it’s time to settle old scores, he does what any rational adult would summons a hurricane to crash his enemies onto his private island. With a sarcastic spirit in his service, a daughter who’s never seen a man (until now), and a vengeful monster who hates everybody equally, Prospero unleashes a masterclass in magical micromanagement.
This Student Survival Edition of The Tempest
A darkly hilarious introduction to the play’s chaos, colonialism, and completely unqualified royals
A scene-by-scene cheat sheet for those who’d rather not decipher Elizabethan iambic stress patterns on a deadline
A character-assassinating Dramatis Personae that tells you who’s who, and who really shouldn’t be
A brilliantly blunt thematic index, so you can find betrayal, booze, or monologues about weather whenever needed
Perfect
📚 English lit students with zero chill
🍷 Readers who like their Shakespeare shaken, not stirred
🤯 Anyone who suspects The Tempest is just Love Island but with witches and war criminals
If you’ve ever wanted to understand Shakespeare while still laughing at him — this edition is your enchanted escape route. Or is at least marginally less yawn enducing. The purpose of this book is to apply some dark humour and wit so you can take at least some sustenance as you beaver away through your english lit madness.
