Question

How is Stefano and Trinculo presented as in the tempest?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Shakespeare has characterised Trinculo and Stephano as two characters to create comic sense in his writing, other than the comic element he has used them to express the evil things in the nature. These actually show the negative nature and approach of humans. Also the tempest is an example of a person who is selfish, arrogant and wants to acquire power no matter how. All these characters can be somehow linked with practical world
