write a paragraph proving that Antonio is more evil then Sebastian (from the tempest)
Answers
In act 2 scene 1, we witness a crucial part of the play. The king Alonso and his courtyards have mysteriously fallen asleep. Strangely, only Sebastian, the king’s brother and the treacherous Antonio are left awake. This is where Antonio begins his persuasion of Sebastian.
Antonio begins with a very subtle attempt to persuade Sebastian,
“Worthy Sebastian? O, what might? No more.”(Line 197)
Using the word “Worthy” in his sentence is the first step in Antonio’s persuasion of Sebastian. This word is used to make Sebastian feel comfortable and also special. This may have also been said as a way of preparing Sebastian for what he will say next. In addition it also intrigues the audience, as they will want to also find out what Antonio means.
The next attempt of persuasion is not as subtle. This is when Antonio states,
“My strong imagination sees a crown
Dropping upon thy head.”(Line 200)
In this statement Antonio is almost saying he wants Sebastian to be king. What this line suggests, is that Antonio is supportive of Sebastian. When he says “strong imagination”, it is like he is foretelling the future. Using these words also allow Sebastian to paint his own picture in his head. This will make him feel as if he is in control, thus he can be more comfortable with the situation.
