Question

Antonio is depicted as a shrewd manipulator in the play The Tempest. Can we compare Antonio's character to that of the cunning spider of the poem "The spider and the fly"?​

Answer 1

Answer:

yes we can say.

Explanation:

the Tempest tells a fairly straightforward story involving an unjust act, the usurpation of Prospero's throne by his brother, and Prospero's quest to re-establish justice by restoring himself to power... playwrights arrange their stories in such a way that their own idea of justice is imposed upon events.
