Question

Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sea
for an acre of barren ground, - long heath,
brown furze, any thing. The wills above
be done! but I would fain die a dry death.

(i) who is the speaker ? explain his role in the scene.
(ii) justify the title of the play 'The Tempest'
​

Answer 1

i) Gonzalo

ii) The title, therefore, refers not only to the physical storm that occurs in the first scene of the play, but to the turbulent passions of the characters, passions which, like the storm, are magically transformed into the promise of peace with which the play ends.

Hope you find it helpful.
