Question

in what ways does the extended metaphor of the tempest represent change for the characters in the play? select all that apply. a the metaphor represents large changes in the lives of the characters who are washed up on the island, as they navigate the unfamiliar environment. b the metaphor represents change in the characters, as they now live in fear of when the storm might rage again. c the metaphor represents small changes in the lives of the characters who inhabit the island, as they greet the newcomers.

Explanation:

• For option A: In "The Tempest", the tempest washes characters onto the island, forcing them into a new, unfamiliar environment which brings large - scale changes to their lives as they navigate this new situation. This aligns with the idea of the extended metaphor of the tempest representing change.
• For option B: The play does not focus on the characters living in fear of the storm raging again as a representation of change. The tempest is more about the initial disruption and the subsequent changes in their circumstances, not a persistent fear of the storm.
• For option C: The tempest's metaphor is about the major upheaval and large - scale changes brought by the arrival of the newcomers (due to the tempest) rather than small changes in the lives of the island - inhabitants as they greet newcomers. The tempest causes a significant disruption, not a minor change.

Answer:

A. The metaphor represents large changes in the lives of the characters who are washed up on the island, as they navigate the unfamiliar environment.
