	Play Synopsis - The Tempest
		Miranda tells him she saw the ship crack in the storm but Prospero calms her, explaining it was a magical illusion he created.
		It is not to be thought that Shakespeare was, from the first, under the special care and observation of the Great Lodge, but rather that "the superior possibilities embedded within himself were what Adept Inspiration spurred into stronger activity." This was possible because of the largeness of his mind and the receptivity of his soul.

	KellynMiller: Not my Diamond Age (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		While Shakespeare's Miranda may have been innocent due to her lack of human communication, it appears to me Diamond Miranda embodies innocence through the pure, motherly love she feels for Nell.
		Shakespeare's Miranda also is very isolated from the rest of society, again because of little human communication, and Miranda seems to be trapped in the containment unit of the ractor lifestyle.
		It appears to me that Diamond Miranda wants to fulfill the basic motherly instinct that she feels raging inside of her, but is trapped in a "Hollywood" life that does not permit her to so.

		Miranda, who has never known another man during her life other than her father, is a quiet, obedient young woman who is willing to do anything that her father believes is best.
		Miranda is set apart from Plath in “Daddy” by her attitude toward her father's role in her life.
		Miranda's passive exit from the plot of the play is not only a reflection of her role as the ideal, devoted daughter and wife, but also of her lack of true identity separate from the two figures of Prospero and Ferdinand.

		Miranda tells Ferdinand to take a break from his work, or to let her work for him, thinking that her father is away.
		Miranda is, of course, modest, pointing out that she has no idea of any woman’s face but her own.
		Shakespeare accomplishes this by showing Ferdinand in one kind of servitude—in which he must literally and physically humble himself—as he talks earnestly about another kind of servitude, in which he gives himself wholly to Miranda.

	PlanetPapers - With close reference to the text, explore how Shakespeare presents the character of Prospero in Act
		Shakespeare uses many alliterations during Miranda’s speech, reusing a soft ‘S’ sound, this creates the sound of the sea but also sounds like she is sighing, reflecting her unhappy mood.
		Shakespeare’s opening line for Prospero is a very authoritative line and instantly allows the audience to see that he is a commanding central character, his direct and almost harsh language draws the audiences attention away from Miranda and towards the character of Prospero.
		Shakespeare also uses the character of Ferdinand to portray how even though Ferdinand claims he is a King, Prospero still treats him with little respect and great suspicion, proving that Prospero believes that on the island he is the most important so he has this right.

		Should Miranda eventually have a daughter, the daughter will also someday be bartered for a foothold in a kingdom or as an alliance to end a conflict.
		Shakespeare often used social issues as a way to explore the way society functioned, using the stage to present a microcosm that represented the larger macrocosm of the universe.

		One day, Miranda was a schoolgirl in the late 1980s, and crushes on boys and passing her classes seemed to be the two big priorities in her life.
		And the next day, Miranda was whisked off to the far future as the sole surviving heir to rulership of the entire universe.
		Watching Miranda go through a wave of '80s fashions is a great montage, and from there we get a lot of really strong pages; Miranda and Ferran's interactions depend so much on not just their words but how they're physically reacting to each other, and Bednar pulls it off with much ease.

		Miranda has seen no man other than her father, and believes Ferdinand is a spirit (there are many on the island); he thinks she is a goddess, and is amazed that she speaks his language.
		Both Ferdinand and Miranda express fundamental themes of the play: he notes how "the seas threaten" yet "are merciful", while she sees the nobles as representatives of a "brave new world".

		Miranda's character encompasses all the elements of perfectionism and goodness which is lacking in all the other respective characters.
		Shakespeare makes Miranda even more desirable by including the fact that she has never seen or even talked to another man (with the obvoius exception of Prospero).
		In this and all the facets of her character Miranda appears almost Christ-like, and it is this extreme propensity towards goodness and purity which enables Miranda to become a unreplacable and unforgettable character.

		In the play's final scene, Miranda is presented, with Ferdinand, almost as a prop or piece of the scenery as Prospero draws aside a curtain to reveal the pair playing chess.
		But while Miranda is passive in many ways, she has at least two moments of surprising forthrightness and strength that complicate the reader's impressions of her as a naïve young girl.
