How does this quote from a poem by Casey Stewart called Loss of Innocence connect with Life of Pi? "Temptation breaks all resistance, dark discoveries flood in, innocence swept away, sinful satisfaction sweeps over. Curiosity laughs, temptation has won, sources change, sin remains. Innocence is dead."

How does this quote from the poem Opurtunity by Abigail Hauschild relate to the the theme of loss from the Tempest? "Loss it seems is the worst kind of sorrow, loss of a dream, loss of a person, but what of the loss of opportunity, opportunity for a dream, opportunity for time with a person, can not having the chance of loss, be worse than loss itself."

Loss is not the worst kind of sorrow, having an opportunity and missing out on it is a worse kind of sorrow. Example: Prospero took an opportunity to change his future and others' futures for the better. If he didn't take that opportunity then he would only have himself to blame.
