Now my charms are all o’erthrown,
And what strength I have ’s mine own,
Which is most faint. Now ’tis true
I must be here confined by you,
Or sent to Naples. Let me not,
Since I have my dukedom got
And pardoned the deceiver, dwell
In this bare island by your spell,
But release me from my bands
With the help of your good hands.

(Prospero talks to audience; he reveals he has given up magic + applause. Epilogue)

O wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O, brave new world
That has such people in ’t!

(Miranda; at sight of seeing so many new men Act 5 Sc. 1)

omg!!!!! the origins of the title 'brave new world'...!!

TRINCOLO: Ay, but to lose our bottles in the pool!
STEPHANO: There is not only disgrace and dishonor in
that, monster, but an infinite loss.
TRINCOLO: That’s more to me than my wetting. Yet this
is your harmless fairy, monster!
STEPHANO: I will fetch off my bottle, though I be o’er
ears for my labor.

(Trincolo and Stephano so sad that they lost their wine in the pool that Ariel sent them in Act 4 Sc 1)

A devil, a born devil, on whose nature
Nurture can never stick; on whom my pains,
Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost;
And as with age his body uglier grows,
So his mind cankers. I will plague them all
Even to roaring.

(Prospero to Ariel about Caliban; cursing him for being a devil!! Act 4 Sc. 1)

We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

(Prospero to Ferdinand, Act 4 Sc. 1)

and now Prospero realises that Caliban and the other spirits are trying to kill him...

"I had forgot that foul conspiracy
Of the beast Caliban and his confederates
Against my life. The minute of their plot
Is almost come.—Well done. Avoid. No more.

To a strange, hollow, and confused noise,
the spirits heavily vanish. "

(Prospero outloud, Act 4 Sn. 1)

LOL????????!!!! help haha...

random masque with gods (entertainment) play within a play

"Some wanton charm upon this man and maid,
Whose vows are that no bed-right shall be paid
Till Hymen’s torch be lighted—but in vain.
Mars’s hot minion is returned again;
Her waspish-headed son has broke his arrows,
Swears he will shoot no more, but play with
sparrows,
And be a boy right out." lol????

(Iris to Ceres, about Cupid. Act 4 Sc.1)

I warrant you, sir,
The white cold virgin snow upon my heart
Abates the ardor of my liver.

(Ferdinand to Prospero Act 4 Sc. 1)

saying that his love for miranda outweighs his lust?? - at least until their wedding day, in accordance to prospero's wishes

Full many a lady
I have eyed with best regard and many a time
The harmony of their tongues hath into bondage
Brought my too diligent ear: for several virtues
Have I liked several women; never any
With so full soul, but some defect in her
Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed
And put it to the foil: but you, O you,
So perfect and so peerless, are created
Of every creature's best!

(Ferdinand to Miranda Act3Sc.1)

No, precious creature,
I had rather crack my sinews, break my back,
Than you should such dishonor undergo
While I sit lazy by.
(Ferdinand to Miranda Act 3 Scene 1)

“It was like the last feeble echo of a sound made long and long ago. So entirely that it lost the life and resonance of a human voice, that it affected the senses like a once beautiful colour faded away into a poor weak stain.”

The world was collapsing, and the only thing that really mattered to me was that she was alive.

And Hermes... why had he abandonned Luke? Why hadn't he at least warned Luke, or tried to raise him better so he wouldn't turn evil?

Good question

OMG not aphrodite interfering in percy's quest for his true love with annabeth 😭😭

'I have to help her,' I said. 'I've been having these dreams.'
'Ah, you even dream about her! That's so cute!'

noooooo why is trigonometry haunting me

" 'Thirty-six degrees, fourty-four minutes north, seventy-six degrees, two minutes west,' I said immediately. Then I shook my head. 'Whoa. HOw did I know that?'

'Because of your dad,' Annabeth guessed. 'When you're at sea, you have perfect bearings. That is so cool.'

I wasn't sure abou that. I didn't want to be a human GPS unit. "
