Answer 1

Answer:

In The Tempest Shakespeare regularly interrupts the action of the plot with the characters Ariel and Prospero. For example, when Sebastian and Antonio are plotting to kill Alonso in Act 2, Ariel interrupts the action to tell the audience that his master can foresee with his art—made possible by his magic—Sebastian and Antonio's murder plot. This interruption not only delays the action of the plot, it also violates conventions of drama mandating that conflicts such as murder plots must be seen through to their resolution. The murder plot is rendered impotent because the artist, Prospero, is not only aware of the scheme but is also in control of how the plot unfolds. The interruption also interferes with the viewer's suspension of disbelief, and in doing so shines a light on the role of audience expectation in the drama.
