Question

What is meant by absolute milan what in the extract shows that antonuo has become avsolut milan?

Answer 1

Answer:

• The words Absolute Milan in the play, Tempest by William Shakespeare, means Duke of Milan or the absolute or only power of the dukedom of Milan. In the play, Antonio was considered to be the Absolute Milan.
• This is apparent when Prospero narrates the family history and about Antonio’s behavior to his daughter Miranda When Prospero, who was the actual Duke of Milan was in exile, Antonio took charge of the power and responsibilities of the Milan dukedom.
• Soon, Antonio became very ambitious and greed of power and he started to behave like the actual duke or the absolute power of the dukedom and betrayed his own brother. Hence he was referred to as the absolute Milan.
