Prospero
Prospero says this to Ariel when Ariel asks for freedom
“Dost thou forget from what torment I did free thee”
When The Tempest strikes
“Hell is empty, and all the devils are here!”
What Caliban thinks of Stephano
“That’s a brave god, and bears celestial liquor. I will
kneel to him.”
Stephano says this when he believes they're alone on the island
“The King and all being drowned. We will inherit here”
Gonzalo, describing the island
"How lush and lusty the grass looks! How green!"
Prospero showing forgiveness to Alonso, Antonio and Sebastian
“Three men of sin, I do forgive thee"
What Ariel says to cause chaos amongst the trio
"Thou Liest!"
Caliban talking about his island
“Be not afeard. The isle is full of noises,sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.”
Gonzalo says this about Alonso, Antonio and Sebastian
“All three of them are desperate. Their great guilt, Like poison given to work a great time after”
Caliban, talking to Prospero about who owns the island
“This islands mine by Sycorax my mother which thou tak’st from me.”
The last line of the play
"As you from crimes would pardoned be, Let your indulgence set me free."
Ariel convincing Prospero to forgive
“Your charm so strongly works ’em that, if you now beheld them, your affections would become tender.”
Caliban helping Stephano's plan
“Remember first to possess his books, for without them He’s but a sot”
Stephano says this to convince Caliban to join them
“Monster, I will kill this man, his daughter and I will be King and Queen”
Prospero giving up his magic
"I'll break my staff,
Bury it certain fathoms in the earth,
And, deeper than did ever plummet sound,
I’ll drown my book."
Prospero threatening Caliban
“For this be sure tonight thou shalt have cramps, side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up”
Ariel reminding Prospero to give him his freedom (near the beginning of play)
"Is there more toil? Since thou dost give me pains, let me remember thee what thou hast promised, which is not yet performed me."
Caliban choosing to follow Stephano
"A plague upon the tyrant that I serve! I’ll bear him no more sticks, but follow thee, thou wondrous man."
Antonio says this about his rise to power
“Look how well my garment sits upon, much feater than before. My brothers servants were then my fellows, now thy are my men”
Prospero forgiving Antonio
"For you, most wicked sir, whom to call brother
Would even infect my mouth, I do forgive
Thy rankest fault, all of them"
When Prospero has Alonso and others frozen in fear
"My high charms work, and these, mine enemies, are all knit up in their distractions. They are now in my power”
Ariel's statement to Alonso and Antonio as a Harpy
"You are three men of sin, whom Destiny, that hath to instrument this lower world and what is in ’t, the never-surfeited sea hath caused to belch up you—and on this island where man doth not inhabit”
Caliban angrily at Prospero after being punished
“You taught me language, and my profit on’t is how I know how to curse. The red plague rid you! For learning me your language!”
Antonio says this to convince Sebastian it would be easy to kill Alonso
“Here lies your brother, no better than the earth he lies upon, If he were that which now he’s like- that’s dead- whom I with this obedient steel, 3 inches of it, can lay to bed forever”
Miranda, talking to Caliban about how she taught him English
"I pitied thee, Took pains to make thee speak, taught thee each hour One thing or other. When thou didst not, savage, Know thine own meaning, but wouldst gabble like A thing most brutish, I endowed thy purposes With words that made them known."
